The Sustainable Neighborhoods Program gives residents the opportunity to become active partners in building a vibrant and sustainable Wheat Ridge community. Neighborhoods participating in this unique certification program receive guidance and support from city staff to organize workshops, projects and events that enhance the livability of their neighborhoods and reduce residents' ecological footprints. Participating neighborhoods earn program credits and recognition from the community and the city.

In 2020, Wheat Ridge joined Lakewood, Denver and Fort Collins as the newest member of the Sustainable Neighborhoods Network! Neighborhoods participating in this certification program receive guidance and support from city staff to organize workshops, projects and events that enhance the livability of their neighborhoods and reduce residents’ ecological footprints.
The City of Wheat Ridge accepted the first two neighborhoods, Applewood Villages and Paramount Heights, into the program in 2020. In 2021, Fruitdale and Panorama Park were also accepted into the program.
