March 2023 – Ranger Ramblings

While many aspects of nature slow down in the colder months, we can still observe the many creatures that are still out and about.

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.

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

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.

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

Turkey vultures—gross but loveable creatures—have returned from their annual migration south for the winter!
