One of Colorado’s lesser-known summer events happens in Loveland during one of the last weekends of summer; the Wild Wonderful Weekend at Centerra.
Loveland’s Centerra Holds First Habitat Community in Colorado
It was in 2016 that the National Wildlife Foundation designated Centerra as Colorado’s fist habitat community, meaning that many aspects of the community are dedicated to protecting and providing native habitat for wildlife.
Baby Goat Yoga and live music will be part of Loveland’s Wild Wonderful Weekend.
Many people know of the Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra, but I don’t think that a lot know about the great High Plains Environmental Center that’s a part of Centerra. This “end of summer” event gives the Northern Colorado area the chance to really see it, and more.
