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.

Cultural Organizations Summit: Preparing for Climate Impacts

Climate change is accelerating and intensifying. All ten of the hottest years on record have occurred since 2005. The 2013 flood and 2021 Marshall Fire are just two examples of catastrophic impacts playing out close to home. We are approaching a critical juncture in confronting the climate crisis, and Boulder's arts and culture community has an important role to play. At our next summit of cultural nonprofit leadership, we will talk about the best ways for organizations to plan for and actively address climate impacts.

NSF NCAR Explorer Series “Inside a weather modeling system: What can go wrong?”

NCAR Mesa Lab 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80305

In this Explorer Series Lecture, NSF NCAR scientist Dr. May Wong will share how a numerical weather prediction modeling system provides a prediction of future weather given initial atmospheric conditions. She will discuss the challenges behind forecasting the weather with models, as well as how scientists are working to improve our ability to make these predictions. These improvements are especially important as we plan for a world with more extreme weather conditions.
