Give the Gift of Membership
Your membership supports our mission of preservation and education of the amazing fossils and geology located at Dinosaur Ridge, Triceratops Trail, and other sites within the Morrison-Golden Fossil Areas National Natural Landmark.
Dinosaur Ridge is a 501(c)(3) organization that relies on donations from generous people like you so that we may:
- Educate 13,000 school children each year.
- Provide free tours to low-income schools through the Field Experience Fund.
- Educate the public during Dinosaur Discovery Days, which are held throughout the summer.
- Update informative signs along the Dinosaur Ridge and Triceratops Trails.
- Put in place protective measures to help preserve the fossils.
- Expand educational programming to include outreaches, summer camps, field trips, and other special programs.
- Preserve a non-renewable resource for generations to come.
