September 2023 – Ranger Ramblings

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.

Beulah School of Natural Sciences (BSNS) recently kicked off the school year with their first visit to the Pueblo Mountain Park!

This fall, our Earth Studies students got to see incredible biodiversity firsthand on their first trip of the year to visit us!

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

We participated in a silent hike, an egg dissection, and an egg experiment (pictured above), which was my favorite activity of the day.

Recent snowfall had provided a surge of moisture for the moss to absorb, leaving the north-facing wall of the canyon lush and green.
