The City of Northglenn was visited by 134 first and second graders as they toured City facilities including City Hall, the Northglenn Recreation Center, Police Department, and the Municipal Court. The children had a hands on tour of the North Metro Fire trucks, Northglenn ambulances, sanitation equipment, street sweeper, park maintenance equipment, water trucks, and a lift truck.
At the end of the tour the kids participated in a community service project by cleaning up the E. B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park. It was a day full of learning and fun!

| protect our environment |
Colorado is truly a beautiful state, and most residents would agree it is important to maintain and protect the high quality of life and the beauty that we experience daily. But the sustainability of our state has many pressures placed upon it, including wide spread population growth, increasing urbanization impacting the amount of hard surfaces covering our land, loss of wildlife and habitat, pressures on water supplies, pollution, and energy shortages. As you can tell, environmental sustainability is not only a Northglenn issue, nor is it only a Colorado issue, it is a national issue.
The pressures of everyday living, and the unconscious daily actions of many, can impact the places we refer to as home. To sustain our quality of living and to avoid compromising the living of future generations, we must protect and ensure a healthy functioning environment, society, and economy for many years to come. We depend upon this environment to fulfill our basic needs of providing clean and abundant water, air and food, flood control, climate, and natural resources.
Use this environmental component of the website as a resource for your choices on how you affect the environment you depend upon.
