The Plains Conservation Center is located in Colorado. Its motto is to preserve Colorado's prairies, educate children about Colorado's eco-history, and nurture conservation efforts. It consists of two sites totaling approximately 8,894 acres of land. The two sites are the Aurora Site and the West Bijou Site.
[edit] History
The land that is currently part of the Aurora site was once apart of the railroad. The city of Denver bought the land in 1933, and the land later became federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
