Automated Waste Collection in Denver Parks

This session focuses on the successful implementation of automating waste collection in Denver Parks. While leading a section of our park system in Denver, I was asked to implement a more efficient trash collection system focusing on labor reduction and reallocation of those resources, tracking diversion rates to landfills and educating public on “pack it in and pack it out” to maintain a healthy and sustainable city. I am now the director of parks, first female to hold this position, and I am asked to integrate automated waste collection across our city as my first project was highly successful.

Engaging Frontline Staff in the Budget Process

Park and recreation agencies, like any public function, are dependent on the annual budget process to do their work successfully. For many cities, the budget process is technically complex and sometimes purposefully opaque - meaning that frontline staff often have little understanding of what is happening in their budgets, why, and how they can help inform the process. This can result in mistrust of leadership, disempowerment, and lost opportunities for efficiencies and innovation. This speed session will advocate for more transparency in agency budget processes and discuss several tools to successfully engage frontline staff in proposing budget changes. It will discuss some of the benefits (building trust with frontline staff, professional development, more equitable decisions) and some of the challenges (politics, traditional policy and procedure, labor concerns, resource constraints).

Environmental Education in Under-Resourced Populations

The goal of environmental education (EE) can be described as, “A positive transformation of an individual’s environmental ethics, environmental knowledge, environmental awareness, environmental attitudes and behavior.” In most current urban EE programs, youth often are taught about ecology as it should be in a perfect world where there are no cities, though those who have visited a city in recent years may have noticed the lack of green space. There is also this thought surrounding green space, that once it is incorporated into a neighborhood, the rich white person will come in and raise the rent. While incorporating EE in the public school system might prove a bit challenging, we can bring EE sessions to the community youth for free with our local community centers or community organizations. This can include using items we already have, as most are familiar with recycling, but also engaging youth through performing and visual arts.

Environmental Justice and Park Equity

Completed in 2022, the Park Needs Assessment Plus (PNA+) is a national model for park equity and planning. Parks, open spaces, recreation facilities, trails and gardens are essential community infrastructure, but not all communities have access to these resources. The PNA+ identifies priority areas for regional and rural recreation - based on population vulnerability factors - along with environmental conservation and restoration, which form the basis of a 30x30 strategy for Los Angeles County. This session with provide an overview of the data collection, analysis, community outreach and engagement, findings and next steps to address park equity while looking at the need to include restoration of degraded lands, such as brownfields, landfills and oil fields, which negatively impact lower income communities of color where vulnerable populations and environmental burdens are concentrated.
