The Greenbacks have never had a Surface Film Closing event hampered by EPIC SNOW (don’t worry about the fact that there hasn’t been a previous closing event for Surface Film).

We spend a lot of time doing the crucial, good work of defending and whistle-blowing, and when we turn back careless greed or stave off disaster; we feel good. Rightly so. But there is something extra-special about an opportunity to get back something that’s been lost.
Last night the board of South Platte Suburban Parks and Recreation and the City of Littleton voted unanimously to begin the process of returning the South Platte to a naturally functioning river. They approved the master plan proposed by Ecological Resource Consultants (ERC), whose intial feasibility study was purchased by Denver Trout Unlimited. The work begins with three demonstration projects, which are fully funded and you should expect to see work begin in late 2012.
To pursue and fund this project took enormous vision, courage and commitment by South Suburban Parks and Recreation, the City of Littleton and Urban Drainage. The Littleton project added to planned improvements utilizing the Shattuck money awarded to The Greenway Foundation equals a Renaissance for the Urban South Platte.
