About
Who We Are
Explore. Learn. Connect.
At the Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center (NWDC), discovery awaits! We are a nonprofit environmental education and wildlife rehabilitation center dedicated to connecting people with nature. Located in Pueblo County, NWDC stewards two beautiful campuses: the River Campus in Pueblo and the Mountain Campus in Beulah, where visitors can explore local flora and fauna while engaging in meaningful outdoor experiences. Both campuses are public parks, free to visit year-round.
Mission
To promote environmental stewardship and community health through nature education, wildlife rehabilitation, and outdoor recreation.
Vision
We envision thriving urban, rural, and natural ecosystems in Southern Colorado that foster a resilient connection between people and the planet.
Core Values
- Equitable access to nature experiences
- Strong community connections
- Preservation and restoration of natural spaces
- Meaningful collaboration with partners
- Lifelong learning and inspiration
Founded in 2018 through the merger of two longstanding organizations, NWDC has grown into a vibrant hub for environmental learning, wildlife rehabilitation, and community engagement. The River Campus in Pueblo is home to Southern Colorado’s only raptor rehabilitation center, while the Mountain Campus in Beulah has been a place for generations to explore and learn in nature’s classroom.
We invite you to experience NWDC firsthand. Whether you attend an event, explore our trails, or support our mission, you play a vital role in protecting and preserving nature for future generations.
