Masks Required Inside Nature Center

Masks are required at ALL times for anyone over the age of 2 years old. Thank you for your cooperation.

The Nature Center is the City of Arvada’s environmental education facility. We offer many school and group programs to engage kids with nature. Using the nature trails, wetland areas and prairie ecosystems to explore, we connect thousands of kids with Arvada’s parks to better understand nature.

We also provide programs for everyone with our public programming, from toddlers to adults, to connect all ages in our community with the wonder of nature. From nature art to drop in discoveries to conservation presentations to family campfire series, you can find almost any nature topic. For quick answer, visit our Frequently Asked Questions.

Current City Resources: Leaf Recycling!

All Arvada Residents are invited to participate in community-wide drop off events to recycle leaves for FREE. These events are included in the minimum services that Arvada customers invest in as part of the City’s Waste and Recycling Program. In an effort to keep leaves out of the landfill and off of City streets where they can block storm drains, free residential leaf recycling is available. Recycled leaves helps cycle nutrients back into our ecosystem where they can help our habitats, and gardens, grow! See drop off times and locations on Arvada.org.

Our mission is to inspire environmental learning and interpretive connections with our community.
