Foothills West

We are proud to announce the expansion into the foothill region with our Foothills West Program.  Foothill West covers the areas of  Aspen Park, Conifer, Evergreen, Indian Hills, Kittridge, Marshdale, Oethmann Park, Stanley Park, Turkey Creek.  Foothills West will be focused on agriculture.  Bret Roller will be our Foothills West Program Manager.

Bret is an energetic community leader with more than 25 years of experience working across education, government, and industry. His work has centered on developing innovative skills-training programs for natural resources and applying those skills to support developmentally disabled individuals, first responders, and veterans.

Bret has been a strong advocate for using nature and animal-based experiences to promote healing, joy, and self-sustaining life skills. He has worked extensively with the adult developmentally disabled community, providing meaningful experiences with special animals while offering much-needed respite for full-time caregivers.

In addition, Bret established a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to connecting individuals with the outdoors and developing the next generation of conservation leaders through hands-on job training.

We are so excited to launch this new program in 2026.
