Our Motto: Conservation through education

One of the best ways to ensure that wildlife and the environment are protected is by fostering a love for these treasures. PSSWF teaches conservation and wildlife programs to all ages in the belief that rehabilitation must be accompanied by public education to be most beneficial. People often don’t appreciate an animal they have never seen and we offer them a window into another world. It is our goal to increase the public’s appreciation for wildlife and each person’s responsibility to protect habitat and respect wild things. Over the years, we have hosted a variety of groups and individuals – from elementary to high school classes, clubs, veterinary technology students, CPW volunteers, and more – and we believe they have all left with a greater understanding and appreciation of wild creatures. Our educational programs include a tour of the facility as well as time in our classroom. Additional components on history and beekeeping can be added.

PSSWF does charge a small fee for our programs. Educational programs can be scheduled for any time of year, though we recommend April through September as the best time to visit.

Additional Programs

• Homestead Museum

  • The Foundation can also provide a greater appreciation of local history. The Limbach homestead was once part of the largest ranch in the Colorado River Valley, with a historic sandstone home and original homestead cabin still on the property. A small museum on-site houses a private collection of Schneegas and Limbach family heirlooms and historical artifacts on display. Farm life can also be seen – cattle, horses, chickens and geese, rabbits, and the like call the Limbach property home.

• Bees and Honey Production

  • In partnership with Paul Limbach, Derrick Maness, and Colorado Mountain Honey, we can also provide educational programs on bees and beekeeping – one of the oldest professions in the world. To learn more about Limbach honey, click here.
