About us
This meetup is for people who are interested in conservation of wild public lands, hiking, and volunteer projects such as restoration of natural habitat. Our activities take place over a wide geography, including the Front Range, Arkansas River Valley, and South Park.
Wild Connections protects and restores wild nature and public lands across the watersheds of the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers in central Colorado. We recognize these as the ancestral lands of the Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho and other indigenous peoples.
Connecting Wildernesses and roadless areas in a landscape-wide wildlands network across the central Rockies benefits migratory animals, rare plant communities, clean water resources for urban and mountain communities , local economies, quiet recreation, historic and cultural locations, scenic vistas and spiritual values.

North Catamount Creek Hike
Location not specified yetNote, this hike has limited space and is posted on multiple forums so you MUST contact the trip leader, Jim, directly by phone or e-mail to register.
This trip to the north side of Pikes Peak will explore an area affected by a Colorado Springs Utilities’ forest thinning project and visit some “beaver dam substitutes” built to improve willow habitat and encourage beaver to return to the area. The hike will cover approximately six miles with elevation change of approximately 800 feet.
Participants should bring lunch, snacks, and plenty of water, and clothing suitable for the weather conditions including rain gear. Sorry, no dogs allowed. A carpool or caravan from Colorado Springs will be arranged.
For details or to sign up, contact Jim Lockhart at 719-385-0045 or jlock@datawest.net.
