Accessibility pathway installation at Kepner Food Forest
Help build a wheelchair-accessible pathway through Kepner Food Forest. Work involves digging, mulching, and laying crusher fine. Snacks and tools provided.
Why we picked this
A morning of real physical work — digging, mulching, laying crusher fine — to make a community food forest accessible to everyone. Snacks and tools included.
Denver Urban Gardens is building a wheelchair-accessible pathway through the Kepner Food Forest, and this workday is where it gets done. Volunteers will dig, mulch, and lay crusher fine to create a stable, navigable surface through the garden. The work is physical and rewarding — you’ll see the path take shape over the course of the morning.
Wear closed-toe shoes and layers you don’t mind getting dirty. DUG provides tools, materials, snacks, and water. No construction experience required — staff will direct the work throughout the day.
Kepner Food Forest is at 1001 S Hooker St in southwest Denver near Harvey Park. Register through the DUG volunteer portal.
