A beaver lodge, salamander island and even a dino hill - they're all part of the city's new, inclusive, nature exploration area. You can find it outside Aurora's Morrison Nature Center at Star K Ranch. We'll take you on a tour. Also on this week's show, black cats are beautiful! Find out why our Aurora Animal Shelter and the Tallyn's Reach Library are teaming up for Friday the 13th Black Cat Adoption Events; bundle up as we take a look back at this year's Winter Bike to Work Day; and we give you an up close look at the historic, art deco KOA building on Colfax. Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
