Bluff Lake Nature Center

Welcome

Bluff Lake Nature Center is a nonprofit agency that owns and manages a unique urban wildlife refuge and outdoor classroom in northeast Denver. The refuge is home to an abundance of animals and native plants, and includes a variety of native habitats.

Each year, nearly 5,000 area elementary students visit Bluff Lake as part of one of our formal education programs. Thousands of additional visitors come to Bluff Lake to enjoy a few moments of solace and connection to nature.

Cody White of KDVR FOX 31 visited Bluff Lake on July 16th and interviewed Susan Beckett, our Education Director, about our beautiful urban wildlife refuge. Click their logo below to see the segment for yourself.

Thank you!
Denver Post Charities, a McCormick Foundation Fund, notified us late last week that they have awarded an $8,000 grant in support of our environmental education programs! Support like this helps Bluff Lake Nature Center educate kids from low-income schools.

Fun for Kids in August
Bluff Lake's Junior Naturalist Summer Camps are a great way to get your kids (ages 6 to 10) outside and learning about the natural world during their summer break. Our August camps still have some available slots.
