The Greenway & Nature Center of Pueblo is located
in beautiful Rock Canyon on the banks of the Arkansas River. A delicate
blend of aquatic, riparian, transition and semiarid grassland habitats
provide homes to a wealth of plants and animals. The Grounds suit a
variety of activities which include; picnicking, wildlife viewing, fishing,
kayaking and nature walks under the Cottonwoods. Miles of earth trails
make a great location for horseback riding or bicycling. The Nature
Center houses the Raptor Center of Pueblo where injured birds of prey
are rehabilitated for their eventual release back into the wild. Although
the Raptor Center was established to rehabilitate injured birds of prey,
we place equal emphasis on educational programming. On average 200 hawks,
eagles, owls, falcons and other raptors are treated at the facility
annually. The majority are admitted due to human related accidents such
as automobile collisions, power line electrocution and pesticide poisoning.
the facility currently returns approximately half of the birds that
it cares for to the wild. We also have a raptor viewing area where you
can view our resident raptors |
