Highline Canal Conservancy

The Conservancy was formed in 2014 by a passionate coalition of private citizens to provide leadership and harness the region’s commitment to protecting the future of the High Line Canal. With support from each jurisdiction and in partnership with Denver Water, the Conservancy is connecting stakeholders in support of comprehensive planning to ensure that the Canal is protected and enhanced for future generations.

The mission of the Conservancy is to preserve, protect and enhance the 71-mile legacy Canal — in partnership with the public. To accomplish our mission we will:

•  Steward the future of the Canal through leadership, education and advocacy
• Engage citizens to protect and preserve the Canal
•  Build a strong and representative community
• Establish sustainable partnerships between diverse geographic regions and jurisdictions
•  Adopt an ambitious and transformative future vision and masterplan for the Canal
• Champion and oversee implementation of the Canal master plan
