Natural History Programs
The Nature Place, designated by the National Park Service as a National Environmental Study Center, is located on over 6,000 acres of pristine mountain forestland. Each spring, summer and fall, we take great pride in sharing this unique ecosystem with members of naturalist organizations, nature center members or college and university alumni groups by providing personal and professional opportunities for learning, reflection and inspiration. | Our Natural History Programs, for ages 7 to 77, are one-week explorations of the natural world. Mornings are spent with our experienced naturalists, exploring enormous petrified sequoia tree stumps, leaf and insect fossils, classic glacial cirques, five billion years of geology, the birds of the region, wildflowers and much, much more! | Afternoons are filled with a wide variety of optional activities such as crafts, games, fishing, hikes, mountain biking, horseback riding or free time in an aspen grove or on a rock outcrop. | Evening activities include natural history discussions and slide shows, trips to view wildlife, and the opportunity to view the spectacular night sky through our 17.5” telescope with our experienced astronomer.
