Land & Legacy Benefit Dinner

The Aspen Acres Fire may have changed our landscape, but it has not broken our spirit. This fall, the Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center is hosting a 500-person benefit dinner at the iconic Union Depot in Pueblo. This evening is a powerful opportunity for our community to stand together, showing that NWDC remains the proud steward of the park and the leader of its ongoing rebuilding efforts.


The destruction of our Mountain Campus is devastating, but the spirit of the Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center lives in the people who love it — people like you. We must come together to ensure that future generations will still have a place to learn, explore, and fall in love with the outdoors.  We need you in the room on September 25th to help us write the next chapter of Pueblo Mountain Park!
