Denver Water ColoradoScapes Program

Denver Water is partnering with others to transform nonfunctional turf grass—which requires large amounts of water to thrive—into diverse ColoradoScapes throughout the Denver metro area. ColoradoScapes use trees and plants that provide interest through all of Colorado’s seasons, cooling shade in the summer, and habitat for the birds, pollinators and wildlife.
