"My kids learn more about nature in a morning in the Cañon than I can teach with props and pictures in the classroom in a month."

WHAT WE DO
We are dedicated to preserving and protecting North Cheyenne Cañon Park, an amazing 1,600-acre city mountain park on the southwestern corner of Colorado Springs. Our Cañon is full of streams, waterfalls, hiking and biking trails, thousands of birds and animals and literally millions of plants and trees.WHY WE’RE GREAT!
City budget cuts scheduled for 2010 call for eliminating almost all funding to maintain this amazing park given to the people of Colorado Springs by General William Jackson Palmer in 1907. Programs will be eliminated, trails and bridges will deteriorate, trash will not be picked up and it will no longer be safe to picnic, hike, ride a bike or have any family activities in the park. We need your help!VOLUNTEER/OTHER NEEDS
