Aurora, CO 80012

An ambitious community effort led to the protection of Jewell Wetlands, a 50-acre urban wetland in Aurora, Colorado, now owned by the city. The wetland serves as an educational resource for nearby schools and residents, offering a hands-on learning experience and helping to control flooding in the area.

Managed by Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, students have planted a butterfly garden on the premises, enhancing the biodiversity of the wetland. The Trust for Public Land facilitated the purchase of the wetland in 1995, with support from the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund, showcasing a collaborative approach to conservation and environmental stewardship.
