February 2024 – Ranger Ramblings

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

A highlight of the past month for me was hiking with a group of kids from the Boys and Girls Club to the top of Lookout Point.

It sometimes takes awhile for students to realize the human impacts on the river, such as personal use and growing crops.

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

On the last day of camp, the campers had the honor of moving five baby owls and one adult owl to the flight cage…

Many children enjoy our camps so much that they return year after year, but it’s equally awesome having new campers join in the fun.
