Mission

For 25 years, Wild Bear Nature Center has helped children and adults forge lifelong connections to nature through creative exploration of the outdoors. Specializing in mountain ecology, Wild Bear welcomes visitors to its hands-on nature center and provides year-round educational programs for people of all ages.

IRS990/MissionDesc0For 27 years, Wild Bear Nature Center has helped children and adults forge lifelong connections to nature through creative exploration of the outdoors. Specializing in mountain ecology, Wild Bear welcomes visitors to its hands-on nature center and provides year-round educational programs for people of all ages. Wild Bear Nature Center inspires a lifelong connection to nature and community through creative exploration of the outdoors since 1997. We are key partners in the preservation of Mud Lake Open Space and in 2000 we organized the community to remove 30 tons of trash making it one of the healthiest wetland habitats in Boulder County. WILD BEAR IS NOW IN A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO BUILD ITS PERMANENT HOME ON ITS FIVE ACRES AT MUD LAKE AND CARIBOU RANCH OPEN SPACES AND COMPLETED DEVELOPMENT DESIGN OF THE NATURE CENTER.
