Denver Sustainable Neighborhoods Program

SNN_Denver_Logo

Denver’s Sustainable Neighborhoods Program gives residents the opportunity to become active partners in making Denver a vibrant and sustainable community. Neighborhoods participating in this unique certification program organize workshops, projects, and events that enhance the livability of their neighborhood and reduce residents' ecological footprint. Participating neighborhoods earn program credits for their efforts and, depending on the number of credits earned in a given year, they may receive designation as a “Participating Sustainable Neighborhood” or an “Outstanding Sustainable Neighborhood” from the City. 

 

Stay Informed!

The program sends out monthly updates to each neighborhood participating in the program, as well as periodic announcements to all Denver residents about application solicitations, program milestones, and City-wide events. If you want to receive neighborhood-specific emails please visit your individual neighborhood page. If you'd like to receive Denver-wide updates, sign up for our newsletter.

Project Highlights

New for Summer 2018! We've seen hundreds of neighborhood projects over the years; from composting workshops and garden tours, to solar and renewable energy fairs, to neighborhood bike rides, and everything in between. Denver neighbors' creativity and enthusiasm never ceases to amaze, and they inspire all of us to roll up our sleeves get involved in our communities.

We want to recognize and celebrate all of the unique projects YOU have dreamed up, planned, organized, and taken part in. Take a look at the archive of Project Highlights. We'll be adding new highlights all throughout the summer.
 
We encourage neighbors to submit projects and recognize other's projects at bit.ly/SNNSubmit. Your Project Highlight could be next!
