Six years later, we’re still here. Growing, teaching, and thriving on the land we love, with students back on the trails, families around the campfire and a forest that’s healing right there with us. Here’s to what grows next. 💚

No bad angles here!😍🐤🏠🎨 The birdhouse auction is still going, so go pick your favorite and get your bid in! Link to browse and bid👇🏼 virtualauction.bid/birdhouse… @colo_chautauqua

Things we're ghosting this October: bad Saturday plans 👻🍂 Come hear ghost stories at the Cal-Wood homestead on October 24th, then join us for a fall hike and guided paint session on November 7th. Bring your friends and register here: calwood.org/classes-by-cal-w…

Before there were trails, cabins, or field instructors, there were the Ute, Arapaho, and Cheyenne peoples, who knew this land better than we ever will. ⛰️ It’s a privilege to teach here and care for this place the way they would want. 🤍 Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Bring your crew to hear them! 🍂👻🕯️
 Oct 24, Daniel walks you through the homestead's stories while you work together to piece Colorado's timeline back into order. Conversation, hands-on discovery, and a fall dinner in the lodge to finish the night.🍲

Rafael Salgado watched his outdoor classroom burn in 2020. Then he went back to work: clearing fuels, thinning, helping the forest recover, and preparing for the next fire. "My legacy will be to leave Cal-Wood ready for the next 40, 50 years." #ProtectWhatMatters
