The Sanders Property consists of 229 acres in the small community of Wetmore, west of Pueblo. The land is adjacent to San Isabel National Forest and connects the Wet Mountains to the sloping Front Range heading toward Pueblo. The landowners, Tom and Cec Sanders, started with a 10-acre parcel where they live and operate the Wet Mountain Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The Center tends to injured or malnourished animals, including bears, large cats, deer, birds, and reptiles. Over the course of 30 years, the couple acquired six additional adjacent parcels, which now total the 229 acres they own today. Though the rehabilitation center will remain out of the easement, the Sanders use their contiguity to the National Forest as the release location for the animals they receive from Colorado Parks and Wildlife and local community members after they have been nursed back to health.
