Mines' campus embodies nature as a source of human meaning. Rather than seeing nature as in opposition to human progress, Mines connects nature to its identity. Words relating to nature (Maple, Spruce, Elm, etc.) are used to name campus streets and buildings, inviting nature into the campus not only in a physical sense (the green spaces surrounding these buildings on campus), but also as an idea - a less tangible sense.

Natural resources abound in Golden's day-to-day existence. Water is used at the employee hand-washing station in the Golden Sweets Ice Cream Shop. Individuals on Lookout Mountain use solar energy to help power their homes. Mines Students use wood for construction in their Design classes. In every facet of modern life here, nature is present.

Golden recreation is largely linked to the city's natural beauty. Residents may hike South Table, North Table, and Lookout Mountain.  In addition, Clear Creek is a popular location for recreational activities. These natural benefits are all located in or near Downtown Golden, where property values and cost of living are relatively high. In contrast, lower-income Golden residents tend to live farther from the downtown area, and thus farther from the natural recreation spaces. As a result, wealthier Golden residents reap more benefits from the natural resources than poorer Golden residents, and thus experience Golden's nature in very different ways.

Nature as wild things can be seen in the animals on campus and in the downtown area. This includes the many geese and rabbits in the area, as well as Blaster the burro.

Through campus and downtown construction, Golden's landscape has been altered. The numerous buildings and pipelines, as well as the expansive Coors factory, contribute to the pollution of the city. However, the construction in Golden is such that it does not entirely destroy the surrounding natural beauty. Clear Creek and the surrounding mountains have been largely preserved, striking a fair balance between innovation and nature for this city.
