Catamount Institute presented Columbine Elementary School’s 4th grade
class an environmental education program highlighting water
conservation, ecology and wildlife education of the Pikes Peak region.
Students spent the day at Catamount Institute's mountain campus
participating in the Keepers of the Water program, a hands-on
investigation of the water cycle that helps students begin the process
of becoming life-long water stewards. Students were guided through a
series of workshop rotations that recreate the water cycle and
demonstrate how it works, where our water comes from and how our
actions can both positively and negatively affect the system. With
generous assistance of Pikes Peak Ranger Barbara French-Pfeifer and
Sally McCracken Martens from the Florissant Fossil Beds, students also
discovered wildlife and native plants along the way. Catamount
Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring
environmental stewardship through leadership and education.
