The "official" blog of the Mountain Park Environmental Center. This is the place to read about what's happening at the MPEC. It's also a great place to find out what's been going on in Pueblo Mountain Park. Post your park stories, photos, sightings and musings. Visit us on the web www.hikeandlearn.org



May has been humming for MPEC in Pueblo Mountain Park. Along with lots of school programs (photo of stream ecology session of Earth Studies), we had another great Nature Toddlers session (playing drums before the hike), and a special treat when Diana Miller of Pueblo Nature and Raptor Center released a couple of flammulated owls among the ponderosa pines in front of the Horseshoe Lodge (a "flam" pictured with MPEC member and supporter Tyson Bennett). The summer night is like a perfection of thought. ~Wallace Stevens
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

A great way to usher in the summer - bring your friends, children, grandparents, outdoor lawn chairs and enjoy a summer evening in the pines. You can bring a drum or use one of ours.
