These rocks are being saved to embed into the landscape at the nature center, to tell the story of the inspiration of one child’s experiences in nature which translated to building the high alpine net zero nature center on 3,000 acres!

Saturday, September 24th 2022 was the 21st annual Enchanted Forest. What an amazing tradition Wild Bear has created!

Celebrating the magic and mystery of nature can happen every day, but this special annual event highlights its importance! What is better than learning, laughing, creating, celebrating and feeling the happiness of being immersed in nature?

EVERY DAY is a day to do this, to immerse into the simple joy of nature, knowing that we ALL are nature, part of something so much bigger than ourselves.

Boulder Lifestyle Magazine highlighted our Founder and Executive Director, Jill Dreves, as a female entrepreneur making a powerful impact on our community.

Wild Bear Nature Center celebrated another milestone toward completing the long-time vision of their permanent home located on the SE corner of Mud Lake Open Space. On Sunday, Wild Bear’s Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and donors convened on Wild Bear’s 5 acres to acknowledge the work and dedication of volunteers and the generosity of donors who have moved this vision forward. The net zero nature center will be tied into Nederland’s grid providing energy back to the town and will be the highest-altitude net-zero nature center in the United States open 360 days of the year.

Jill Dreves & Justin Gold present information about Wild Bear and the GoWild Campaign at the Boulder Rotary Club on July 22nd, 2022. Watch the full recording here!
