Discover what Yellowstone has done to make sure the iconic trumpeter swan doesn’t disappear from the Park, using research and management actions. And much more!
Join volunteer naturalists as we explore the evolution of biodiversity in Boulder County over time. What plants, animals, birds, and insects were present in 1720, 1820, 1920, 2020? How do these changes compare to biodiversity evolution over much longer periods of time on the front range? What animals, plants, and life forms might we experience on a hike in 2120? How might we respond to these unprecedented changes and help protect, or even restore, some of our ‘more than human kin’ that share our Boulder County home?

This outing's theme is "mindful birding" where we will spend quiet time at each of several stopping points to focus deeply on any birds that we are able to see and hear. The emphasis will not be on finding and identifying as many species as possible, but rather on thoroughly appreciating the ones we happen across. We'll consider how mindful techniques might help us improve as "conventional" birders too. This area boasts exceptional scenery and a variety of high-quality habitats. Restrooms are available near the meeting point, but not at the trailhead or along the trail. Plan on walking about two miles on gravel road.
