Monique “Mo” Fair Deputy Director, Community Engagement
Monique, who more commonly goes by “Mo”, is a Denver native. She grew up in the heart of downtown Denver however, from a young age, her father took her to the mountains to fish and camp. She believes this is where her connection and love for the environment began. Attending Chadron State College on a track scholarship, Mo graduated in 2014 with her degree in Ecology with a focus on Wildlife Management. Mo joins the Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership with six years of experience in natural resource management and interpretive education. Mo is excited to help youth build a connection with the outdoors while exploring and learning more about the Greenway. On her personal time, you can usually find Mo at her local CrossFit gym earning her weekend donuts. She has recently gained an interest in bouldering and calligraphy, and is a proud dog mom to her pup, Blueberry.
The Sand Creek Regional Greenway is a jewel in the necklace of trails that has made Denver a national model for linked trail systems.
This 14-mile public greenway connects the High Line Canal in Aurora, Colorado with the South Platte River Greenway in Commerce City. Along the way, it passes through northeast Denver and the new Stapleton community.
The Sand Creek Regional Greenway is open every day from dawn until dusk. Runners, walkers, nature viewers, horseback riders, and leashed dogs are encouraged to enjoy the trail. We invite you to become acquainted with our wilderness in the city.
