February 2024 – Ranger Ramblings

August 21-24 marked the return of the Outdoor Explorations Program to the NWDC River Campus for the 2023-2024 school year.

Recycling and sustainability are important to cover while outdoor experiences are challenging during the cold of winter.

After two days of single digit and sub-zero temperatures, a dedicated group of birding enthusiasts got outside on December 24th.

We observed many trees that had been chewed and knocked over, and with the recent snow even some beaver track!

The Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center recently partnered with the Pueblo Zoo and the Buell Children’s Museum for nature programming.

In our December newsletter, read all about how NWDC’s environmental education programs take students out of their comfort zone by just traveling from the plains to the mountain foothills.
