Sense of Place
Acknowledging the intricacies of Colorado is critical if we are to build roots in this community and fully appreciate all that it takes to live in Colorado Springs. By fostering a deeper sense of our geography, we can build a more connected, conscious, and resilient community. Join the Office of Sustainability on all the Sense of Place trips to deepen your knowledge about the world you live in.
Upcoming Sense of Place Tours
Explore the complex system of reservoirs, pipelines, and pump stations that feed water to Colorado Springs from over the mountains. Visit the Mt.
