Join us for an exciting morning in the wild as we explore the fascinating world of Gunnison’s prairie dogs, a species native to the grasslands of the Four Corners region. This FREE event, hosted by AWWE and Habitat Harmony, offers a unique opportunity to observe these incredible creatures (and maybe even their pups!) in their natural habitat.

Learn about the important role prairie dogs play in the ecosystem and discover how they benefit the surrounding environment. Our knowledgeable guide from Habitat Harmony will share insights into prairie dog behavior, conservation, and the ways we can help protect them.

We will meet at the Trailhead at 9:00AM. The Campbell Mesa trail system is located off Forest Road 303, commonly called Old Walnut Canyon Rd. Take the Country Club exit from Interstate 40, Route 66 and North Hwy 89, one mile to Old Walnut Canyon Rd; turn left (Old Walnut goes east, Oakmont goes west at this intersection). Drive approximately one mile where you see the sign “Campbell Mesa Recreation Access”. The last 1/2 mile is dirt. Park at the gate but do not block access to the gate. Walk through the gate and up the dirt road approximately 400 feet to the trailhead.
