Biodiversity in Boulder County: Past, Present & Future

Ron Stewart Parks & Open Space Building 5201 St Vrain Road Longmont CO 80503

Join volunteer naturalists as we explore the evolution of biodiversity in Boulder County over time. What plants, animals, birds, and insects were present in 1720, 1820, 1920, 2020? How do these changes compare to biodiversity evolution over much longer periods of time on the front range? What animals, plants, and life forms might we experience on a hike in 2120? How might we respond to these unprecedented changes and help protect, or even restore, some of our ‘more than human kin’ that share our Boulder County home?
