On Friday, July 19, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Plains Conservation Center hosts the ninth-annual Hops for Habitat, an event to benefit the center's efforts to conserve the original source of malted barley—Colorado's majestic plains. Throughout the evening, guests can take in live music, wagon rides, a campfire, and food trucks while sampling beer from more than 15 Colorado-based microbreweries, including New Belgium and Boulder Beer. Attendees must be 21 years or older.
Plains Conservation Center
The Plains Conservation Center is an offshoot of the West Arapahoe Conservation District, an organization appointed in 1949 to teach farming and ranching techniques that could help prevent another devastating Dust Bowl. While the PCC's mission has since expanded, the nonprofit organization's main goal remains the same: preserving the health of Colorado's plains. Between its two sites—a main 1,100-acre location in Aurora and more than 10,000 acres spread along West Bijou Creek—the organization maintains several attractions devoted to the history and environmental character of the region. These include more than five miles of hiking trails, a Cheyenne camp from 1837 with four standing tepees, and Wells Crossing, a replica 1887 farm consisting of sod houses, and heirloom gardens. For more modern sites, the Aurora location's visitor center features interactive displays and seasonal events such as Hops for Habitat, an annual fundraiser with beer tastings from local craft brewers.
