Join us as we revisit the major renovation of a mile-long stretch of Cherry Creek between Quebec and Iliff Streets in Denver, which was completed in 2022. Before the renovation, this area was a wasteland with a deeply incised creek, few trees, lots of bare soil, and with a ragged collection of native and non-native plants. In places the creek had dug a channel over twenty feet deep.
Of greatest interest to Wild Ones members, the area was fully re-planted with native forbs, grasses, shrubs and trees. The grasses and forbs were all planted as seeds. A Wild Ones tour occurred four years ago during its first year of recovery. There was a lot of bare ground, but plants were growing. Come see how the native plants are doing after four years.
