about Morrison Nature Center at Star K Ranch:

The Morrison Nature Center at Star K Ranch is a 200-acre preserve that is part of the Sand Creek Regional Greenway, a 14-mile-long trail system connecting the cities of Aurora, Denver, and Commerce City.

The nature center renovation project was completed in October, 2003 and is built from the old homestead of the Stark family. The nature center contains hands-on exhibits, a classroom, and an intimate library area.

Star K Ranch encompasses a variety of habitats including short-grass prairie, wetlands, ponds, Sand Creek, and riparian areas, making it a wonderful area for exploration.

The venue hosts ecology-oriented classes and workshops for kids and adults, as well as summer day camp programs. Complete information is available online.
