Due to changes in elevation, precipitation, and temperature within Rocky Mountain National Park, the ecosystems found here are extremely diverse. Join an education ranger and become ecosystem explorers on a mission to uncover the biodiversity found in each ecosystem! Students will research one of Rocky's four ecosystems before connecting with an education ranger and will present their findings during the live program. Rangers will elaborate on each ecosystem, showing videos and images from each ecosystem.
