Media Day

September 15 from 11 am to 1 pm at the Buck Creek Campus

Walking Mountains Science Center has just broken ground on a $10 million world-class environmental learning center in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This project will serve as a model of sustainable design and development, being the first school in CO to attempt USGBC LEED Platinum certification.

Join us for a media-only event designed to connect this effort to existing national trends and stories on Wednesday, September 15 from 11am to 1 pm (lunch provided) at the site of the future campus (corner of Buck Creek Road and Nottingham Road in Avon).

Contact Doug Dusenberry at (970) 827-9725 x21 for additional details and to RSVP.
