• Hands-on Activities: Make small nature crafts, build your own nature route, try VR demos, participate in trivia, and explore interactive educational exhibits on wildlife, plants, forest health, bird conservation, and outdoor safety.

• Free Food & Prizes: Including 10 fishing licenses up for grabs! Plus fun swag, pocket guides, and “Explorer” publications that list all of our free programs.

• Interactive Booths: Connect with local organizations like The Gardens on Spring Creek, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, One Health Institute at CSU, Larimer County Extension, CSU Natural User Interaction Lab, and many more.
