Nature Education Programs

Nature's Educators is a local, non-profit licensed wildlife education program that is the primary expert for Castle Rock's Animals Around the Rock series. They are always in need of support both financially, as well as, with supplies for their wildlife ambassadors and the patients in their new wildlife hospital. Due to COVID-19, their opportunities to give presentations and receive donations were down. However, the costs to care for the animals remained the same. If you would like to donate items such as sheets, towels, ziplock baggies, latex gloves, bleach, white vinegar, gift cards or make a financial donation, please visit their website natureseducators.org or email them at info@natureseducators.org.

Join Douglas Land Conservancy and the Town of Castle Rock as we dive into the characteristics that define our local wildlife, including raptors, reptiles, bats, insects and other species. Local wildlife experts, organizations and wildlife rehabilitators, such as Nature’s Educators and Denver Audubon, will be featured at these programs. Discover the various types of animals that live locally and all over the world. Find out what they eat, how they hunt, where they live and how they benefit the local ecosystems.
