About The Schoolhouse at Two Ponds

Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge opened in 1992 due to efforts of the Two Ponds Preservation Foundation to save the 72 acre site from residential development.

• Located in the heart of Arvada, the wildlife refuge includes three varied ecosystems which are home to more than 120 species of animals.
• We are building an onsite environmental education center called the Schoolhouse at Two Ponds to give urban and local youth access to the outdoors to experience nature and learn the importance of protecting the environment. 
• The estimated construction cost is $500,000, and money from the raffle will allow us to break ground by Spring or Summer 2018. 
• This indoor facility will also offer local and urban residents and families a respite from their fast-paced lifestyles.
