Orchard Grove is Boulder's lowest-income community, but we already have
what more affluent neighborhoods in Boulder aspire to achieve:
» a vibrant, thriving, involved, and self-helping neighborhood;
» sustainable initiatives in food, energy, transportation, & economic self-sufficiency;
» economic and ethnic diversity and integration;
» and a head start in the one thing we all need in order to face the coming challenges of global warming: experience in living well on less.
Now, in April 2009, we are struggling for the right to buy this mobile home park for ourselves and operate it as a non-profit cooperative, and to protect its open space from development.
Please use the links on this page to find out more, and to make a contribution to support a truly worthwhile cause.

Winter 2008
Dear Friend of Orchard Grove, When City Council rezoned Orchard Grove Mobile Home Park in September 2008, it was unable to rezone the heart of the park, a 5-acre open space that residents have cherished for a half century. This open space is a quiet island of green in the midst of high density housing. It is the heart of our neighborhood. It is what makes Orchard Grove unique -- environmentally, historically, and aesthetically. More importantly, it provides a critical, irreplaceable “urban wildlife corridor” that connects mountains to prairie, through our beautiful city. Click here to read more ...

Our city council loved their bike ride |
|
Dear Neighbors,
Thank you for making the City Council’s bike ride through the park an overwhelming success! It was a beautiful day for a bike ride, and Orchard Grove has never looked better. Many people went out of their way to have their homes and yards looking spectacular. Over 85% of our homes had “YES! Save Salvar Orchard Grove” signs proudly displayed. And it was great seeing everyone outdoors enjoying our community.
Council members on the bike tour were Matt Applebaum, Angelique Espinoza, and Deputy Mayor Crystal Gray, along with several family members.
