July 2024 – Ranger Ramblings

On Wednesday morning, we met our campers at the River Campus before heading to Lake Pueblo Archery Range to practice shooting archery.

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

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

NWDC Raptor Center Director Diana Miller drew a beautiful red-tailed hawk out from a portable carrier and held it up for all to see.
