Wildlife

Colorado wildlife is one of our state’s biggest attractions.  Through your project work, you will learn about ecosystems, wildlife conservation, habitat requirements, wildlife behavior, how wildlife species fit into nature’s scheme, how they are managed, and how they relate to humans.  Do you love to be outdoors?  Do you like to figure out what wild animal has passed through your neighborhood?  Are you curious about ecosystems and how people and nature can live together?  Then this is the project for you.
