The group raises private funds for capital improvement projects and operates programs including Denver Digs Trees, Community Forester, Mile High Tree Champions, Park Legacy, and TreeForce. It identifies itself as Denver's oldest and primary city-wide park advocacy organization and one of the longest-standing tree groups, with a record of planting more than 50,000 trees in the city and directing tens of millions of dollars into public spaces.
