Get Educated

Education, Outreach

Educational programs are important tools for land management and public awareness of Douglas County’s protected properties. Education through interpretive programs and guided hikes teaches respect for natural resources and land stewardship while allowing people to develop a sense of ownership and community service.

Educational programs – Several properties serve as ‘classrooms’ for environmental education and historical interpretation. For example, Prairie Canyon Ranch is managed as a working cattle ranch to preserve historic values and protect wildlife habitat, while it also provides unique educational opportunities for students of any age. Topics of study could include plant and animal ecology, Colorado history, agriculture, aquatic studies, geology, and geography.
Outreach – Staff, and volunteers may be available to present special programs or displays for events or provide an overview and history of the Division to various organizations.
