MLK Day is also known as the National Day of Service.

Anna and Andrew are serving our community as AmeriCorps members. AmeriCorps is our country’s national service corps dedicated to helping with community development.

Andrew and Anna have been serving with The Nature Connection since 2020 and have changed the lives of hundred of kids by offering exciting school and summer outdoor programs during the pandemic.

Thanks Anna and Andrew!

Celebrate the full wolf moon with The Nature Conne

Celebrate the full wolf moon with The Nature Connection and the @grandmesanordiccouncil !

This event on January 15th will take place at County Line Trailhead on the Grand Mesa.

What is a "pop-up?" It is when we bring our gear trailer to the trailhead and offer skis, boots and poles for families to borrow for a two-hour period. If you need some instruction, our staff will be available for that too.

Winter is much more enjoyable when you are sliding along under the full moon.

No reservations this year. Suggested $10 donation per person. Severe weather will cancel event. Please RSVP on Facebook to receive updates.

The Nature Connection and the USFS collaborated on offering a 3-day AIARE Avalanche I training last week. Staff and community members practiced avalanche rescue and learned about snow science. We are excited to incorporate the snow science lessons into our kids programs (starting next week!!🤞) Thanks to Billy and Whit from @irwinguides

Happy New Year! ❄️⁠
⁠
What's your 2022 resolution? ⁠
⁠
If it is to get outside and exercise more... The Nature Connection is trying to break down the barriers to getting outside locally so you can make that resolution a reality. If you live in Hotchkiss, the Crossroads Trails are a quick way to incorporate more biking or hiking into your day. In Paonia- the new River Park Trail can be used almost year-round. In Delta, The Confluence Park walking trails are an excellent way to get in a 5k. Enjoy! ⁠
⁠
Donate to The Nature Connection to support maintenance on these and more projects⁠.
