| The Greenway and Nature Center is located in
beautiful Rock Canyon on the banks of the Arkansas River, one mile west
of Pueblo, Colorado. A delicate blend of aquatic, riparian, transition
and semiarid grassland habitats provide homes to a wealth of plants and
animals. Our staff is pleased to welcome you to our facilities. We look
forward to sharing our corner of Colorado with you through our educational
offerings. In addition to educational activities, the Greenway & Nature Center also offers a variety of recreational pursuits. The paved 27 mile Pueblo River Trails System travels through the heart of our facility and offers opportunities for walking and biking and other non-motorized forms of travel. Additionally, there are miles of unpaved trails which provide walks through wooded, riparian and prairie environments. |

| Educational Philosophy | |
| All educational programs presented at the Greenway and Nature Center of Pueblo stress the ecological concepts of interrelationships between animal, plant, and human communities. It is the goal of these programs to increase student's awareness and appreciation for natural resources and biodiversity, and to help them understand that humans are an integral part of the natural environment, and not apart from it. | |
| Topics | |
| All activities and vocabulary are age appropriate
and modified to group size. State Education Standards other than those
listed, apply to our programs. For your convenience we have divided the programs we offer into several different topics please take the time to explore them! |
