Louisville Grasslands Spring Field Trip

Davidson Mesa Trailhead South 80th Street Boulder, CO 80303

Join Louisville Open Space, the Boulder Watershed Collective, Grama Grass & Livestock, the Louisville Fire Protection district, and Wildfire Partners to take a short walk in our local grasslands and learn about some of the nuances involved in planning and managing these landscapes. We'll start at the Davidson Mesa Trailhead, and from there we'll take a mellow walk (a mile or less), interspersed with stops to discuss what we see and how management objectives are approached on the ground. Cows will be actively grazing the landscape at Davidson Mesa during this time, so we can see their work in action and learn about their role in supporting grassland management objectives. 

Do Mosquito Control Programs Make You Safer?

Virtual

Join PPAN for our May webinar with expert speaker Rella Abernathy from the City of Boulder: Do Mosquito Control Programs Make You Safer? As scientists raise the alarm about the decline of insects, the opposite trend is occurring with mosquitoes as populations are increasing. This webinar will describe the City's mosquito management approach by managing ecosystems and share the scientific rationale for why this approach is important, not only to reduce disease risk to people, but to have a positive impact on wetland insects, birds, amphibians, and overall ecosystem health.

The Staples, Snacks and Splurges of Colorado’s Hungry Birds

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

In this presentation we will attempt to describe the wild foods of Colorado’s birds. They have their tried and true “go-to” items and they are champions of opportunism. The true joy of birding is the sense of discovery. Studying what birds eat is fun and full of surprises. It has long been the presenter’s contention that the skills and tools possessed by birders can be applied to more than “what is it?” and “how many are there?” The gaps in published bird life histories are MANY and we can fill them by living up to what the world calls us – “bird watchers”. By carefully observing a bird for just a few minutes beyond identification, we can gather valuable information on habitat, feeding habits and other behaviors. With our phones, point-and-shoots and mega-cameras we can document these things. And all are potentially useful to conservation. Let’s do it.
