South Platte River Vision Planning & Assessment

The Adams County South Platte River Vision and Implementation Plan, led by the Mile High Flood District (MHFD) and Adams County, developed a long-term vision for the South Platte River’s regionally significant river corridor with emphasis on defining strategies to address both the needs of the river and the local community through river restoration and recreation projects.

As part of the consultant team, led by Design Workshop, Great Ecology provided ecological assessment and planning services with the goal of creating a more connected and ecologically functional river corridor. This included conducting field and desktop-based habitat surveys, vegetation typology, wetland delineations, and guidance for restoration opportunities and constraints.
