Plains Conservation Center Charity Profile

The Plains Conservation Center is an outdoor education facility and state-designated natural area consisting of two sites totaling approximately 8,894 acres. The 1100-acre Aurora site is located at 21901 E. Hampden Avenue. The West Bijou site, purchased in 2001 and added to in 2006, is located near the Arapahoe County/Elbert County line along West Bijou Creek, south of Strasburg, CO.

The Plains Conservation Center exists to bring the natural wonder of the prairie into the realm of personal experience by: PRESERVING a remnant of the eastern Colorado High Plains, EDUCATING the public about its natural and cultural heritage, and NURTURING sound conservation and environmental ethics.

We believe that discovering the prairie’s unique cultural and natural resources facilitates respect for the prairie, enjoyment of our cultural, historical and environmental heritage, and a desire to lead a more sustainable lifestyle, no matter where you live.
