The Sand Creek Regional Greenway extends through 3 cities and I am a staff partner for one of those cities. The Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership has been invaluable in getting the trail built as well as installing additional benches, interpretive signage, recycling bins, etc. The programs they run for environmental education are fantastic and are the only way many of the youth in my city interact with nature.
