Inspiring Stewardship & Love of Nature

Since 1995, Wild Bear 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. Your donation will make a huge difference:

• A $75 donation sponsors a full day of nature education for a child from a low-income household. 
• A $250 donation funds a group program where children and adults learn from artists, scientists, or wildlife experts. 
• A $500 donation supports a week of full day childcare for a local family in need when school is out during spring, summer, or winter break.
• A $1000 donation supports an entire class traveling to the mountains four times - once each season - to learn about snow science, wildflowers, mountain ecology, our watershed, and more.

Your donation helps keep Wild Bear programs open to anyone, regardless of income - last year, 36% of children's program participation was supported through sliding scale scholarships. 

And, since Wild Bear is a licensed childcare provider, your donation could be eligible for a 50% Colorado Child Care tax credit! Check with your accountant.

Now more than ever, we need nature and nature needs us - support Wild Bear Nature Center today!
