About Us

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.

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.

Revamp and lease 7 acres and 2 large barns to house our raptor and herptile team.

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.

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.

Colorado Healing Acres reached out to us to partner with their new building and property. This would allow us to expand into a commercial and public-facing facility. We now have a Nature Classroom at their site that houses our herptiles, invertebrates, and chinchillas. We are open to the public, offer educational programming, and host special events at this site.

After securing 9 acres of our very own land, we are now in the planning stages of building a multi-use facility with on-site programming, outreach programming, a wildlife amphitheater, public aviary displays, walking trails, a biome immersion experience, and more!
