There aren’t enough kids on bikes on trails or in the woods.

The Learn to Bike program is out to change this 🙌🏼

By providing early childhood bike riding experiences to EVERY single kindergarten through third grader in all of Delta County and Olathe, we aim to increase riding ability by removing barriers to gaining those skills. The best part is that it brings that potentially transformative mountain biking experience directly to this kids during PE class! Each student gets three days of biking instruction and practice, navigating obstacle courses, teeter totters, balance beams, and (most challenging) other riders.

The growth we see in riding abilities from day one to day three is astonishing. We’ll keep you updated through the spring 🌞🚴‍♂️

Catch us at Lincoln Elementary for the whole month of April!

So you thought biking was for mailmen and olympians? Maybe in the past. But not anymore!

Turns out you can take those two-wheeled contraptions up into misty mountains, down into quiet canyons, and basically anywhere you can imagine. Come bike with us and see what it’s like!

Confluence Park in Delta is a hidden gem of mountain biking terrain. Bring the fam, bring a snack, and let loose 💃😄🕺🏼

This year’s Winter Ecology Days were a truly extraordinary program in the drawl of a new ordinary - in which togetherness attempts to exist without presentness. The first day of Eco Days felt like a comic of Marvel’s The Avengers, where after carefully sorting out safety procedures the Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management, and The Nature Connection joined forces at the Grand Mesa Visitor’s Center for a heroic cause: get the kids back in the woods!

Farewell Winter, and hello Spring.

Don’t blink because ski season is going by way too fast! ❄️

This collection of photos illustrates the variety of programs and weather conditions that we’ve enjoyed so far this winter.

Sixth grade Winter Ecology Days, 4th grade Skis for Kids and pop up community ski days engage people of all ages and backgrounds from Delta County and Olathe, uniting us to forge a stronger community.

What is your favorite part about winter in Colorado?

After you answer, go be a part of it! Our snowpack is a precious gift that keeps on giving, even after the skis are put away for summer.

Oh, and keep an eye out for the season just around the corner 😜🌞

As our ski field trips come to a close, we want to

As our ski field trips come to a close, we want to give a well-deserved shout-out to our AmeriCorps members Anna and Andrew for persevering through the tedious, laborious tasks required to make our program run so fluidly this year - despite the pandemic! We hope you feel as confident in driving a trailer full of skis to and from the Mesa as we are in you! ❄️🙃💥🕺🏾💃🏼💥🤸🏽❄️

Through night and day the good vibes stayed the same 🌙🕺🏼💃🌞

It was a special night on the slopes of the Grand Mesa- up Steven’s Gulch Road- sharing our nordic ski gear with families around Delta County. Our community ski days continue to be a mountainous hit.

Even Chewby, one of TNC’s many upstanding dog friends, stuck around all wrapped up burrito-style in jackets. The fire kept us all warm under the full moon! (And Chewby kept the werewolves away....)

Shout out to our partners @electricmountainlodge for pristine trail grooming and @drinkbigbs for heavenly hot cider. Thank you!
