We\u2019re also proud to shine a light on High Plains Environmental Center<\/a> <\/strong>(HPEC), our beneficiary and one of the visionaries behind Centerra\u2019s Certified Wildlife Habitat<\/strong> designation through the National Wildlife Federation.

Saturday is an opportunity to experience that vision firsthand and support the work that continues to make our community wild at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This celebration is made even stronger through the support of our incredible community partners: Chapungu Sculpture Park<\/a>, The Promenade Shops<\/a>, The Hub Caf\u00e9 at Kinston<\/a>, REI<\/a>, Visit Loveland<\/a>, Chick-fil-A<\/a>, Loveland Reporter-Herald<\/a>, and Townsquare Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
