Teen Volunteer Day

Sunflower Farm 11150 Prospect Rd, Longmont, CO 80504

The volunteers will participate in weeding, planting, potting, general spring clean-up and outdoor tasks, as they get their hands digging in the dirt, helping our production farm, as our busy growing season takes off! At the end their volunteering, they are welcome to play and cuddle with our new baby dwarf goats and new lambs!

Nuclear Nexus & Nuclear Guardianship Collective

Virtual

RMPJC was founded with a main focus of closing down the Rocky Flats nuclear plant. In coordination with AFSC Denver, Greenpeace, and numerous other organizations, RMPJC worked to end the production of potentially harmful nuclear waste. Over time, RMPJC became the foremost peace and environmental group working steadily for the best possible procedures to properly clean up the already thoroughly contaminated site. However, due to an improper “clean up” by government agencies, the efforts to clean up Rocky flats and make it habitable once again is still underway.

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.

BeeChicas: The Fantastical World of Everyday Nature In and Around Us with Susan J. Tweit

Boulder Public Library Canyon Theater, 1001 Arapahoe Ave.

Imagine a world where plants talk, insects transform their bodies by rearranging and repurposing their cells, algae act from memory, seed “brains" tell them when to germinate and flowers signal incoming pollinators like airport workers guiding jets. A world where relationships and interrelationships continually co-create life. That’s the real, actual world we live in and belong to, the world we call nature. Join award-winning writer and plant ecologist, Susan J. Tweit, to learn more about the fantastical nature of ordinary life!
