Two Ponds' Stewards, Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge/Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR — Arvada, Colorado
 |
| Community volunteer assists instructors from Colorado Wildlife Federation teaching about wildlife migration |
Two Ponds' Stewards focuses on habitat restoration and local history
using a unique open space area called Two
Ponds National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Located in the front range
community of Arvada, Colorado, Two Ponds NWR is a small urban refuge
that was initially preserved through a community initiative and then
acquired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The 78-acre property maintains a historical landscape of settlers who established homesteads on the front range of Colorado throughout the 1800's. The small refuge is home to ponds and canals, built to channel water from the Rocky Mountains to the fertile farms and ranches lining the plains leading up to the mountains. Two Ponds NWR is an area activly being managed to reestablish navtive plant populations and balance human and wildlife activites. Students and teachers from a local elemenatry school are working with local non-profits and fish and wildlife staff to transform Two Ponds NWR back to its pre-settler landscape.
