Pathway workday at Morey Middle School Food Forest
Help complete the final section of a community pathway at Morey Middle School's Food Forest with Denver Urban Gardens. Family-friendly outdoor morning workday.
Why we picked this
A practical morning building the final section of a pathway through a middle school food forest — the kind of workday where you can walk the finished result before you leave.
This workday focuses on completing the last section of a community pathway at Morey Middle School’s Food Forest — a working garden space managed by Denver Urban Gardens that gives students access to growing food. Volunteers will help with manual pathway construction tasks alongside DUG staff. Only 7 spots remain, and the registration deadline is April 12, so sign up soon.
Wear clothes and shoes you’re comfortable getting dirty. Bring water and any personal tools if you have them, though DUG provides what’s needed. The site is in Capitol Hill at 840 E 14th Ave — accessible by bus and with street parking nearby.
Urban school food forests serve multiple purposes at once: they’re outdoor classrooms, edible green spaces, and community assets that outlast any single school year. Showing up for a workday here directly supports what students experience in this space.
