About Us
OUR STORY
2008
Cañon City, CO
Starting with 2 incredible raptors (a red-tailed hawk and great-horned owl) Devin Jaffe started doing just a handful of outreach programs in Cañon City, CO by herself in 2008.
Nature's Educators Founded
2010
Aurora, CO
Identifying a need and a market in metro Denver, Nature's Educators moved to Aurora, CO to grow and expand their educational outreach offerings. Volunteers joined in and the ambassador team grew to multiple raptors, herptiles, invertebrates, mammals, and parrots.

Eagle, NE
In 2020, Raptor Conservation Alliance formed (previously Raptor Recovery Nebraska) and joined forces with Nature's Educators. The educational ambassadors are all on one big permit which allows the organizations to work together and offer programming with a variety of ambassadors in both states.

Florence, CO
As Nature's Educators grew, we needed another geographically diverse location in Colorado to help service our expanding reach. With our southern location, we can now more easily access other areas of Colorado, other states, and launch our traveling flight show.
