Teens Making a Difference

Our teen volunteers went the extra mile this past weekend to help out Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's local conservation partner, Pinello Ranch. Pinello Ranch, located just north of Venetucci Farm, "serves as an oasis for wildlife along Fountain Creek." The property is surrounded by an urban landscape but is made up of pristine wetland environment making it a valuable habitat for birds, deer, and aquatic life.

Our teen volunteers signed up to spend their Saturday helping install trail markers for future birding tours and clean up over 150 gallons of trash along the Fountain Creek Watershed. In return they were able to explore the wonders of this magical environment.

Interested in helping this local champion? Look for the little yellow bird and vote for Pinello Ranch at the Quarters for Conservation Booth at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
