BeeChicas: The Fantastical World of Everyday Nature In and Around Us with Susan J. Tweit

Boulder Public Library Canyon Theater, 1001 Arapahoe Ave.

Imagine a world where plants talk, insects transform their bodies by rearranging and repurposing their cells, algae act from memory, seed “brains" tell them when to germinate and flowers signal incoming pollinators like airport workers guiding jets. A world where relationships and interrelationships continually co-create life. That’s the real, actual world we live in and belong to, the world we call nature. Join award-winning writer and plant ecologist, Susan J. Tweit, to learn more about the fantastical nature of ordinary life!

Longmont Farmers Market

The Boulder County Fairgrounds (9595 Nelson Road, Longmont, CO 80501). 9595 Nelson Road, Longmont

Long before Longmont was know as a bustling tech center, it was sustained by thousands of acres of farmland — starting with the establishment of a flour mill in 1887, and later with the vegetable cannery built in 1889. These days, Longmont farms provide much more than just sugar beets, and preserved farm land in Longmont and beyond helps fill our market with fresh, seasonal vegetables, dairy products, and Colorado-raised meats. We’re proud to be a growers-only market, meaning every product at the Longmont Farmers Market is created locally and sold by the vendors who produce it.

Rocky Flats Stewardship Council Meeting

Virtual

The Rocky Flats Stewardship Council (RFSC) is currently undergoing a restructuring process. The RFSC is an organization of local governments tasked with overseeing ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the Rocky Flats area. It has a history of excluding public engagement, lack of public transparency, and operating under a conflict of interest through Department of Energy funding. For a matter of such great importance to public health and safety, it is essential that the public is included during this transition.
