We celebrated the contributions of our Volunteer of the Year, Devin Hughes, at After Dark this year.

Devin was a five-time High School Leader and an intern at Windy Peak during the 2023-2024 school year. He continues to support Outdoor Lab by jumping in to help wherever needed during site visits. In addition, Devin is an active volunteer with the Foundation, contributing to our community outreach and fundraising efforts.

Thanks Devin for all of your support!

Manning finished out a successful year for Outdoor Lab last week!

Students had a great time in the snow, exploring and learning in new and challenging environments.

We were able to celebrate our Partners of the Year at After Dark this year. Huge shout out to Jefferson Conservation District and the Colorado State Forest Service!

JCD and CSFS have been working hard to improve the forest health on both mountain campuses. They have been instrumental in implementing defensible space and other wildfire mitigation efforts. JCD and CSFS have also been working with us to better understand how we use the properties and also advised on the development of our Fire Ecology class. Lastly, they now run evening programs on forest health for our students.

Thanks Jefferson Conservation District and the Colorado State Forest Service!
