Bald Eagles and Habitat Preservation in the northern Colorado Front Range: The Stearns Lake Territory at a Crossroads

Virtual

Front Range Eagles Studies would like to invite you to participate in a Zoom meeting and presentation on September 18th at 7pm. We will focus on the Stearns nesting bald eagles, and how their history emphasizes the challenges that some territorial bald eagles face in the rapidly developing Colorado Front Range due to a scarcity of nesting trees, and diminished habitat and prey resources. The presentation will run about 20 minutes with questions and conversation afterward.

North Boulder County Wildlife Crossings Project- US 36 between Boulder and Lyons

Boulder Unitarian Universalist Church 5001 Pennsylvania Ave, Boulder, CO 80303

Boulder County Open Space, along with our partner departments of Transportation and Public Works, is pursuing implementation of wildlife crossing structures on US Highway 36 between Boulder and Lyons, specifically between Left Hand Canyon and US Highway 66. There are several reasons for our formalized pursuit of wildlife crossings. Boulder County has been concerned about the safety of the public and the wildlife due to the high level of annual wildlife-vehicle collisions in this stretch. As the primary landowner of the adjacent lands along this stretch, Boulder County is ready to take the steps necessary to address this issue, to protect wildlife and our residents and visitors.

The Psychology of Stuff

Virtual

This year, instead of brawling over a flatscreen, join Eco-Cycle for a brand-new webinar all about conscious consumerism! We are lucky to be joined by guest speaker (and Eco-Leader) Dr. Kelly Kandra Hughes for this webinar, who holds a Ph.D. in psychology and is an expert in minimalist living and anti-consumerism. In this webinar, we seek to answer the question: Why do we have so much waste and what can we do about it?

Green Buildings as part of a Land Ethic

Thorne Nature Experience 1466 63rd St, Boulder, CO, us

Buildings are responsible for 40% of total energy use in the United States and 35% of our country's carbon emissions.  Can we re-envision our homes, places of business and other buildings in ways that slash energy use, incorporate local materials and otherwise become ever more sustainable?  Yes!

gritogether

Lyons Farmette 4121 Ute Hwy, Lyons, CO, United States

A Created By Cody concept, presented by Mad Agriculture and featuring Gruff Grains, this exciting event shines a spotlight on the importance of artisan grains like Farro in regenerative farming systems. Beyond its delicious flavor and ancient heritage, Farro is a healthier, more sustainable alternative to refined grains like white rice. Its cultivation helps regenerate the land by improving soil health, conserving water, and boosting biodiversity.
