Renew the Ranch is an annual event that helps the Metro District keep its parks and open space areas beautiful. Volunteers will help pick up trash at a Highlands Ranch specified park and/or open space location in the community. This is a great opportunity for groups and families that want to volunteer together. 

Renew the Ranch will be offered in two locations: Marcy Gulch near ThunderRidge High School and Falcon Park near Eastridge Recreation Center. Signup information will be available in late August or early September 2026. 

Metro District open space staff will welcome volunteers and give a brief education and safety talk before volunteers set out to help clean up the open space. You will be provided with disposable gloves and trash bags.

Volunteers will receive specific cleanup location, instructions, and additional information sent via email ahead of the event. 

Call 303-791-0430 or email info@highlandsranch.org for more information.
