How venting and flaring continue to take a toll on clean air and our climate and what is being done about it. Jeremy is a specialist in campaign strategy and leveraging the law to drive social and environmental change, Jeremy Nichols is particularly fond of the Clean Air Act and the law's ability to empower citizens and communities to successfully confront polluters. Jeremy currently works as a Senior Advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity's Environmental Health Program.

We’ll be joined by Tim Stelzer and Eli Asher of LineVision who will provide an overview of GETs, the capabilities they offer, their current state-of-play in the U.S., and highlight case studies of dynamic line rating (DLR) technology. They will wrap up with a discussion of how legislation and regulation can play a role in ensuring the technology is used cost-effectively.

We are honored to present an evening with renowned Cheyenne educator and advocate, Dr. Henrietta Mann.

Join us to listen, reflect, and discuss how we collectively reckon with the past in the present, and for generations to come.

Join Boulder County Farmers Market in the heart of downtown Boulder on 13th Street (between Canyon and Arapahoe) for the longest market season in the state of Colorado. Our Boulder markets on Wednesday and Saturday offer the very best of the season—from farm fresh produce to locally raised meat, poultry, and eggs. You can also load up on bread and baked goods, plants and flowers, and Colorado-crafted specialty and ready-to-eat foods from our great vendors.

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.

Join us for an insider tour of Friends Farm, a two-acre biodynamic vegetable and herb farm at Nyland Cohousing! Whether you’re curious about the realities of regenerative farming or looking to get hands-on experience, this is your chance to dive deep into the nitty gritty of working with our climate and food system.
