Nature and Wildlife Discovery Center

Mission: To promote environmental stewardship and community health through nature education, wildlife rehabilitation, and outdoor recreation.

Vision: We envision thriving urban, rural, and natural ecosystems in Southern Colorado that foster a resilient connection between people and the planet.

Core Values:

• Equitable access to nature experiences
• Strong community connections
• Preservation and restoration of natural spaces
• Meaningful collaboration with partners
• Lifelong learning and inspiration

Founded in 2018 through the merger of two longstanding organizations, NWDC has grown into a vibrant hub for environmental learning, wildlife rehabilitation, and community engagement. The River Campus in Pueblo is home to Southern Colorado’s only raptor rehabilitation center, while the Mountain Campus in Beulah has been a place for generations to explore and learn in nature’s classroom.

We invite you to experience NWDC firsthand. Whether you attend an event, explore our trails, or support our mission, you play a vital role in protecting and preserving nature for future generations.
