CHERRY CREEK WATERSHED CONFERENCE | Valerian was proud to sponsor and present at the 26th annual Cherry Creek Watershed Conference, sharing our insights on turf conversion and its critical role in advancing water conservation and improving water quality.
This year’s Cherry Creek Watershed Conference included discussions spanning watershed health, regional collaboration, adaptive management, and community outreach. The conference highlighted innovative approaches to protecting our water resources in an increasingly drought-prone climate across the Cherry Creek watershed and beyond.
We appreciated the opportunity to share our insights on turf conversion and how it can contribute to more water-wise landscapes and support broader conservation goals. Thank you to the Cherry Creek Stewardship Partners, Cherry Creek Basin Water Quality Authority, Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority and fellow participants for fostering meaningful conversations and collaboration toward a more sustainable water future!

CLEORA PARK OPENING |
Valerian capped off a very busy week with the opening of Cleora Park in Salida! Located in the heart of the Confluent Park Neighborhood, this new spot offers something for everyone—from accessible trails and natural play elements like boulders and log steppers, to colorful, low-water pollinator gardens.
We loved collaborating with the City of Salida Parks and Recreation team to bring this vibrant, multifunctional park to life. Designed for residents and visitors of all ages, features include:

•Accessible Trails & Gathering Spaces: Seamless connectivity with comfortable seating and a central plaza.

•Scenic Views: A custom shade structure positioned for prime views of the Arkansas Hills and Sawatch Range.

•Natural Play: Integrated boulders and log steppers for nature-based play.

•Sustainable Landscape: A rich mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, colorful low-water pollinator plantings, and a newly installed irrigation system.

As native seed establishment gets underway to wrap up this phase, we look forward to seeing this space thrive for years to come. We’re so grateful to team up with the City of Salida Parks and Recreation on this project. Be sure to stop by, enjoy the shade, and take in the view!

The Globeville Elyria-Swansea (GES) Program of Projects Open House hosted by the City and County of Denver took place on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at the newly opened Carpio-Sanguinette Park / Heron Pond Open Space. The focus of the open house was to provide updates and public feedback on neighborhood improvements, infrastructure projects, and local programs in Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea. Valerian and Wilson & Company were on hand to discuss the 48th Avenue Greenway and Phase 3 of the Globeville Levee. Highlights included gathering community feedback on Phase 3 Levee visioning concepts and sharing our team’s educational component designs for the 48th Avenue Greenway, currently under construction.

COSA 2026: Caring for the Commons
Valerian had a fantastic time attending the annual COSA Conference in stunning Crested Butte. Beyond the vibrant fall foliage, the week was packed with insightful presentations, immersive field trips, and engaging Mountain Film screenings at the Center for the Arts Crested Butte. A clear, resounding takeaway from the sessions: preserving our open spaces requires continuous, strong collaboration with stakeholders, communities, and organizations.
Thank you to the COSA organizers! We look forward to seeing everyone in Vail next year!

NIVER PARK OPEN SPACE |
Perfect weather for a Walk in the Ward!
We were thrilled to join the City of Thornton, City Council members and residents for an early evening stroll through the Niver Creek Open Space. This "Walk in the Ward" series is such a great way for neighbors to connect and see the latest improvements in their community.
Alongside our partners at Naranjo Civil Constructors, our team at Valerian loved touring the site and chatting with everyone. Stream Landscape Architecture & Planning, who also provided design and installation for portions of the open space, collaborated with Valerian where there was overlap in some locations. Valerian provided design for:

•Restoration & Revegetation along Niver Creek

•Trail Improvements & Nodes featuring soft surfacing, seating, and educational signage on local history, flora, and fauna

•Nature Exploration Zone complete with accessible pathways, climbing boulders, logs, and a colorful, giant snake sculpture designed for imaginative play

Thank you to the City of Thornton and all the community members who came out to walk and celebrate with us!

The shade structures are up at the 48th outfall! They add a great geometric pop to the look of the space while giving future visitors some much-needed relief from the sun.
