Nature's Educators

Nature's Educators changed my life. I am a therapist by trade, and I was so inspired by what I saw as a Nature's Ed volunteer that I went back to school for Environmental Geography. The staff eat, sleep, and breathe the work they do, and this trickles down to promote passion in the volunteers. I have been with Nature's Ed for over 4 years now and I could not imagine not having these people and animal ambassadors in my life.

Great Educational Organization!!!!
Very informative and inspirational
Schedule with them today!!

One of the best organizations I've had the pleasure of working with!

They are an amazing group of people. They love there animal and take awesome care of the animals. When they do there education talks my kids loved it.

Nature's Educators is a fabulous place to see and learn about the raptors and other gorgeous birds in the Denver, Colorado area. They just held a wonderful class at their facility, and we got to see some of the birds they call their "Ambassadors"! They are wonderful!!!

I was an intern last summer with this amazing rescue! The work that they do is very important and it is wonderful to see these animals get a second chance at life.

What a delightful group! So passionate, knowledgeable and a wonderful opportunity to connect with gorgeous raptors. Definately go see them at one of the many programs and events they offer. Well worth it!

Nature’s educators is an amazing organization that i have the privilege of working with over the past 9 years our amazing ambassadors have educated thousands of Children adults about the importance of nature and conservation

Volunteering with Nature's Educators is some of the most rewarding work I have ever done. Not only do I get to help care for and work with these amazing animals, I also get to see the amazed look on people's faces when they see them up close. The care these animals receive is nothing but the best.

Nature's Educators is the ONLY wildlife education group that I support in Colorado. This group knows what they are doing, they put the animals first and understand why conservation is important. Nature's Educators is the only group I trust!

Took a class on raptor identification. Was very detailed and got to see many of their bird ambassadors. The experience was amazing

Cheating at a public contest open to many charities by voting and creating multiple email addresses in order to win money. They got kicked out for cheating, speaks for itself. I will no longer be supporting them.

Nature’s Educators is an amazing organization which dedicated itself to the education of the public about animals and conservation. Bringing a variety of animals all over the state for programs all while providing awesome homes and care for non releasable raptors.

I took my parents to an educational event at the Royal Gorge Bridge. Nature’s Educators told the story of 5 different raptors and the importance of their role in nature. Fascinating!

I have followed Natures Educatiors for about 3 years now. I have been to events and programs featuring different ones of their birds and other varmits. They are truly an amazing group. Their facilities are incredible and well appointed for the residents. The volunteers are so committed and concerned about the well being and care of the residents and obviously have a great understanding and love for these different species. I try to help out by donation whenever I can and only wish I could do more! They truly deserve all the accolades that come their way!

Awesome organization! All of the volunteers are engaged and knowledgeable. If you ever get a chance to attend one of their programs you will glad you did.

As a young child I fell in love with raptors. I wasn’t more than 8 or 9 years old when I began to notice these creatures in the wild. So graceful, so perfect, so beautiful. I wanted one for my own.

After sharing my desire with a teacher, she showed me a book called “My Side of the Mountain”, by Jean Craighead George. In this book the main character escapes a horrible home life to live in nature. There he befriends a peregrine falcon that helps him survive. This book was the trigger that introduced me to nature and made me think about what nature truly is and what my relationship could and should be with it.

The programs provided by Nature’s Educators are often a young child’s first introduction to the natural world. As a volunteer there I see it their faces time and again. We want people of all ages to understand the importance of respecting and protecting wild animals and wild places everywhere. If we educate the public by bringing wild animals to them, we can help them understand and foster compassion for the wildlife they encounter.

Nature’s Educators helps me to share the insight and the love of our natural world that I received many, many years ago.

I had a great time interning here, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the facility is clean, they provide wonderful animal programs and opportunities.

I have been a volunteer with this organization for 3 years now, and I absolutely love it! The animals are of course amazing. They are cared for very well, and the amount of training and love that the animals receive is unparalleled. The director Devin has created an organization full of passionate people who are eager to learn and share that knowledge with others. I love seeing the impact that the organization makes as well!

Fantastic outreach 501C3 with dedicated staff who are passionate about animal conservation, reaching people from all walks of life to help spread awareness and to help build a more personal connection with wildlife through their live animal programs, and who provide great care and quality of life for their educational ambassador animals.

Nature's Educators is one of the best educational programs I have seen. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly. I always let friends and family know where Nature's is hosting events so they can experience is wonderful group.

Natures Educators is the best at education, and they are super nice and fun organization! 5 starts for being super fun at events, and as well teaching the importance of wildlife!

Wow!! I consistently work with this organization to provide educational programming at my library branch. They are knowledgeable, courteous, energetic, and witty. My library customers always look forward to a program with Nature's Educators!

They have a superlative way of encouraging conservation by bringing animals and education together to inspire and excite the public.

Natures Educators has been one of the most amazing experiences. As volunteers not only do we get to work closesly with incredible animals, but we get to learn so much about them at the same time. Everyone who works here is so kind and passionate about what they do and it really make the whole thing such a great experience. I hope to continue to volunteer with Natures Educators for as long as I possibly can!

I visited Natures Ed one evening and was overwhelmed at the cleanliness of the facilities, and the quality of care they provided for their animals. The mews for their birds were in great condition, and it was clear that the same level of care was provided for their reptiles as well. All of the volunteers were incredibly kind, and very skilled at their work. This is a great non-profit with great intentions towards building sanctuaries for animals and educating the public on them.

Passionate and intelligent people... No one was just "going through the motions", they truly engaged people around them.

I've volunteered with Nature's Educators for just about 2 years now and have enjoyed every second with the animal ambassadors and spectacular volunteers.

Nature's Educators cares about their animals, volunteers, patrons, and lesson plans. The programs are entertaining and educational with up to date information and amazing animal ambassadors. Highly recommend!

My library had the Nature's Educators team do a program to a mixed aged audience about Creatures of the Night. They were very friendly, punctual and knowledgeable and did a great job engaging both youngsters and seniors. I would recommend you have them at your event or library. They are a very affordable option.

I started volunteering with nature's educators last year. Absolutely couldn't be happier with the ambassadors and volunteers. The passion for the animals and educating the public shines through by all the hours given to teach us by the director as well as other members of the group. Truly a wonderful experience.

I've been a volunteer for 5 years now, and this organization is impacting so many people in a positive way. I definitely can't wait to see where this organization is in another 5 years!

We attended our first educational workshop with Nature's Educators last year, sort of spur of the moment. My husband, son, and myself were very, very impressed with the knowledge shared with guests to increase our education & awareness of these beautiful birds. So much so, that the presentation, was something talked about and re-enacted at our household over & over & over. Fast forward a year, and now at 7 1/2, we were able to attend our 2nd workshop, plus see them at another site unexpectedly. Now, our son is even more turned on to the beauty of these animals, and is telling others certain facts he learned. Thank you Nature's Educators and keep up the great work!

Nature's Educators is a outstanding organization. The members of this team have such incredible heart and passion, and are able to do such amazing work. I am happy to be friends with the Director, and am happy to help them in any way possible. They take great care of the animals in their possession and I am proud to stand by them.

Great organization and people! They do amazing work!

This organization is so important and beneficial for our state. It is rare a single org can have such a far reaching impact, but Nature's Educators fulfills their mission above and beyond.

Nature's Educators is an amazing organization. Everyone is dedicated, knowledgable, friendly, and hard-working. I started volunteering in May and have had a great experience. I have learned so much appreciate how well it's run and how much effort each and every person gives. The programs are very well put together and are suited to all audiences, with extremely reasonable rates I might add! Booking an event with Nature's Educators will not disappoint. I cannot recommend this organization more.

Having worked with Nature's Educators, I can tell you they're an impeccable organization with a dedicated and wonderful staff, a clear and responsible vision for the future of their organization, and ethical but enterprising fundraising to foster their efforts. The crew at NE do an incredible job of balancing education for the general public with the care and love for their animals. Fantastic nonprofit and well-deserving of their Five-Star rating.

We met Nature's Educators when they visited the Erie Community. Such a great, family-friendly program!

Great organization to work with! I've been a volunteer for several years now and it has been great to see this organization grow and touch so many lives.

Nature's Educators is a wonderful organization! It's full of so many knowledgeable and passionate people. I have been volunteering with Nature's Educators for almost a year now and I have learned so much and have had so many great experiences. I learn something new every time I volunteer. Nature's Educators caters to audiences large and small and have wonderful educational programs that do indeed get audiences excited to learn about raptors and wildlife. There's no program too small, too large, or too far away for this organization. They do everything from birthday parties to large auditorium talks, and go all over the state to try to reach as many audiences as possible! They provide excellent care for all of the animal ambassadors and provide top notch educational training to the volunteers for every animal. This organization rocks!!

Nature's Educators is just what the name implies and this nonprofit does a wonderful job of that! The animal ambassadors are great at teaching groups of all ages about the importance of protecting our wildlife. The birds and other animals in the care of Nature's Ed are treated with such special care. Each has its own health plan as well as specially designed inclosure to keep them safe and in the best health. The Director stays current on all aspects of proper care, guidelines, regulations and policies relating to the animals as well as the nonprofit regulations. This nonprofit is truly a professional group of people. Nature's Educators will continue to grow as people continue to support their important mission. Call and book a program today!

We love Nature's Educators and work with them multiple times each year. They are always professional, reliable, well-versed in their subject matter, take care of their animals, personable with kids, and altogether fascinating!

I have worked with Nature's Educators multiple times in the past, and will continue doing so in the future. The volunteers they have are excellent people with truly amazing information and an even better mission.

Nature's Educators has a wonderful outreach program! They come to our school every summer and give a presentation to our students (ages 2 - 7 years). They are always professional and prepared, and give captivating presentations with live creatures. They take the time to engage with each child and are always happy to answer every single question they can think of.

I started volunteering with Nature's Educators last fall and have loved every hour. Every time I attend an event with our raptor ambassadors or spend time cleaning their homes or feeding them I learn something new. Our director has a wealth of knowledge about wildlife that she shares willingly. Every question I ask is answered with new information for me. Other volunteers share their knowledge as well. Most important to me is that the well being of all our ambassadors is primary. They are loved and respected at all times. Nature's Educators is a magical organization.

Nature's Educators is an outstanding organization that loves birds of prey! It is a top notch assembly of a passionate leadership and keen volunteers that share a love for educational outreach. The standards in which volunteers are held are high and encourage continued learning. This knowledge, in turn, is relayed to the public. The programs are well suited to various age brackets and presented in an enthusiastic manner. I am proud to volunteer with Nature's Educators and endorse the organization 100%!

I am a classroom teacher and I love having Nature's Educators teach my first grade students not only about raptors, but also about respect for life and nature, and how important it is to treat animals in the wild as such. Each presentation given has been better than the last! She involves the students throughout her time with them with hands on activities and they talk about it for the remainder of the school year! Thank you Devin and Nature's Educators!

I have held a lifelong fascination for raptors and love being able to share the knowledge of these amazing animals with others. Nature's Educators is a welcoming, team-based organization which makes each volunteer feel valued and which makes every effort to reach the public with a positive face.

Natures educators helped me learn so much about their animals. They are all passionate and hardworking volunteers. Every time I volunteered there was a friendly face to help me out.

After graduating from college, I knew that I wanted to work with birds of prey but I wasn't sure how. I had no experience, and I was afraid I would be turned down right away without any training.

When I found Nature's Educators I could barely comprehend my good luck. On the very first try I'd picked an organization with extraordinary dedicated volunteers who strive every day to provide nothing but excellent care for our animals, and excel at teaching children and adults alike about the invaluble role predators play in our world. Moreover, I couldn't have asked for a more willing and helpful team to provide me with the tools I needed to succeed at helping preserve our wildlife and handle such incredible creatures.

Volunteering at Nature's Educators has truly changed my life and made me a better teacher and a better student than I could have ever expected. I'm eager to see our organization grow and to watch myself improve in the years to come as we do some of the most important work I've ever done.

Nature's Educators has taught me so much and I love being a volunteer with them!

I have volunteered at many non-profits over 25 years. I have learned more from Nature's Educators than any other organization I have been with. I love to see the faces of the kids and public when our ambassadors come out and they learn something new! I also like the fact that Nature's Educators have different programs including ones with reptiles and bugs.

I have been with Nature's Educators for 2 years and have greatly enjoyed the time here. In the past, I have volunteered with other raptor organizations and I find Nature's Educators to be the most exciting, drama free, and dynamic environment to date. The board is great and we always try to incorporate new and exciting ideas to propel the organization into the future. The best, I am sure is yet to come.

I work in wildlife rehab, I deal with sick and injured raptors on the daily basis, it is my job to try and help them survive, recover, and be released. That doesn't always happen, and often enough I am left with birds that survive but cannot be released. My job then becomes a search to find a home for each bird that will provide the BEST care and the BEST possible life.

Nature's Educators has now received three of my organizations birds. They are highly professional, care enormously about their ambassadors' well being and provide a fantastic educational service that outdoes any other that I have seen. I am not only comfortable sending my non-releasable birds to them, I am excited to get the chance to see them and what they are doing, even if they are over 1000 miles away from me and my organization.

Our youth are our future, we must teach them as much about our world as possible. Natures Educators teaches why we must protect our environment and its wildlife.

I have seen kids hang onto every word Devin said during a presentation, She knows just when and how to ask thought provoking questions that involve the young and older folks alike.

Devin is also a master at using each volunteers skills and strengths to the very best advantage of the organization.

Caring for these birds is a lot of hard work theres no vacation. Or days off it takes tons of time and effort to keep it all goibg NE is the best!!

Nature's Educators is an absolutely amazing organization and I'm so proud to be a board member. The team of over 30 volunteers works so hard (even while having full-time jobs) to make this organization successful and to give the best possible care to the raptors, reptiles, and insects which are the heart of the program. I have worked with a variety of non-profits and this group is so passionate, hard-working, and dedicated it's unbelievable. The programs are outstanding and can be taught to all ages. The animals are beautiful and are so well-cared for. Their enclosures are terrific! I personally can't wait until this group has a public facility someday.

Nature's Educators is made up of such an amazing group of people. Each persons unique background adds a dimension to the organization that I have never seen duplicated anywhere else. The programs are interesting, engaging, informative, and FUN! I look forward to participating every day.

As a Cub Master, you are always trying to have fun and exciting things at your Pack Meeting for the scouts. We brought in Nature's Educators to teach the scouts about the importance of the wildlife around us, and the differences between the kinds of birds of prey. They were amazing, and exceptionally knowledgeable. The scouts were captivated by the raptors, and learned a great deal. Afterwards, the volunteers were so patient in answering all the questions that were thrown at them by the scouts. We will definitely have them back next year!

This is a wonderful educational outreach progam designed to reach as many people as possible teaching the importance of wildlife in the grand scheme. The animals are cared for exceptionally well, with enrichment items to play with in a clean, safe environment by compassionate volunteers.

We love Nature's Educators. There's nothing like live raptors for kids to really get the feel for their majesty and grace. Nature's Educators always handles their animals with sensitivity and wonder. They are also endlessly knowledgeable, friendly, and warm. They are the best partner organization possible for another wildlife organization!

I am not surprised to see so many positive reviews for this organization. I have had the priviledge of working with Devin and Joyce with Nature's Educators over the past few years. The program that this organization has delivered enriched my students learning experience to a whole new level. As a Humane Educator I am not only very picky about the program but also about the treatment of the animals within an organization. Nature's Educators excells on all levels.

Four Winds Interactive brought Nature's Educators in to share at our 2012 Anniversary Party. We threw the party in our parking lot, offered carnival games and invited Nature's Educators to take a 'booth' at our event and share about their work and educate our employees about birds of prey. The event was a great success, and I don't think there was a break in their viewership for more than couple minutes during our three hour event. Their interactive bird of prey presentation was really neat - the fact that they actually brought the birds as show and tell made it even more engaging. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering their services as an entertainment option at a corporate event like the one we put on. Additionally, they were very prepared and ready to execute their program with little communication or support needed. Very professional.

I became involved with Nature's Educators two years ago as a volunteer. My first impression was how well the raptors are cared for, as some are injured and sometimes need special care. The program is funded by program fees and donations only. Permittee Devin Paszek is very knowledgeable and an awesome presenter whether for pre-school to college age and adults. Anyone who books a program or is able to attend one, will not be disappointed. Many organizations have rebooked for programs in the future. I believe in the coming years, Nature's Educators will be the premier raptor education program in Colorado.

I am very excited to see how much Nature's Educators has grown over the years. It has become an outstanding raptor program and is by far the best. Nature's Educators was created to teach the public about birds of prey and other animals that people don't usually come in contact with in their every day lives. This program has been very insperational for the public. I hope that soon enough Nature's Educators will have raised enough money to have a building where the public are welcome to come visit the birds and interact with them. I am very impressed with how far this organization has gone and I hope it continues to expand.

As a fellow raptor educator, I was very impressed with the folks at Nature's Educators from the beginning. They are dedicated to their birds and educating the public. They provide interesting and factual information in a way that everyone can understand and enjoy. A top notch organization!

The Nature's Educators team is by far the best I've ever been a part of. Everyone is so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The volunteers' passion is beyond belief and the group is like a family. The organization is growing quickly and really becoming an outstanding non-profit group. The animals are so well taken care of and you can see the love and respect the volunteers have for the ambassadors. The presentations are excellent and if you haven't seen one or hosted one, you need to!!

I cannot say enough about Nature's Educators. Not only do I get to see the effect we have on the public but I also know what the organization has affected my life. Nature's Ed is 100% volunteer operated. Most volunteers have full time jobs and help out because of their passion for wildlife conservation and for their love of raptors. I would say one thing that I love about volunteering with nature's Ed is the look on children’s faces when they first see our ambassadors. For me personally volunteering with Nature’s Ed has been a life changer. This is one of the more meaningful parts of my life. Spreading the word on the importance of Birds of Prey and educating the public has become very fulfilling to me. I am super excited to see Nature’s Educators grow and I am glad I will be here to help!
