In Honor of Earth Day…Create a Wildlife Habitat

Bringing Wildlife into Every Day.

To share our passion for animal, plant and habitat conservation, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo developed a program for creating wildlife habitats throughout the city. It will enable you to practice, and benefit from, conservation actions in your daily life.

There are aesthetic, environmental, educational, economic, psychological and sociological benefits for all of us from creating these urban wildlife habitats. Wouldn't it be nice to…
• Pass a schoolyard and see children outside counting nests?
• Hear a hummingbird feeding outside as you sit in the doctor's waiting room?
• Increase the value of your property because of the wildlife present?

All these things and more are possible if we create functional areas that support wildlife.

Our goals are:
• To educate you on the needs of various types of wildlife.
• To help evaluate your site and situation to determine which aspects are present or absent.
• To develop together a plan of action to create a habitat.
• To expand on those efforts to unite neighborhoods and communities to create contiguous swathes of wildlife habitat called habitat corridors.
