Animals Around the Rock

Join Douglas Land Conservancy and the Town of Castle Rock as we dive into the characteristics that define our local wildlife, including raptors, reptiles, bats, insects and other species. Local wildlife experts, organizations and wildlife rehabilitators, such as Nature’s Educators the Denver Audubon Society, will be featured at these programs. Discover the various types of animals that live locally and all over the world. Find out what they eat, how they hunt, where they live and how they benefit the local ecosystems.

Due to COVID-19 attendance limitations from the state, registration for these events is required. Space will be more limited for the indoor programs.

These programs are presented by the Town in partnership with Douglas Land Conservancy. Donations are appreciated to help further the program.
