Since 1982, kids have gotten lost in the woods here and found a connection with nature. We experienced the magic of Cal-Wood first hand alongside a group of eager Boulder fifth graders. Cal-Wood’s school programs allow students, regardless of income or background, the chance to find their place in nature. Kids come to learn about fire ecology and climate change. But they leave with greater confidence in the outdoors and deeper ties to the mountains and each other.
We were so inspired by Cal-Wood’s work, we awarded them with a grant through our Parks for All program. It’s just part of the $3.1 million we’ve awarded so far.
