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.

We will hear from legislators about climate and energy bills and their outcomes. Confirmed guests are Representatives Judy Amabile, Kyle Brown and Junie Joseph.

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.

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!

This class will explain the interconnectedness of all living beings and the critical role that each species plays in maintaining the health and function of ecosystems from the soil up. We aim to help you gain a deeper understanding of how biodiversity shapes our world and why it is essential for the health and sustainability of our planet.

Join Boulder County Farmers Market in the heart of downtown Boulder on 13th Street (between Canyon and Arapahoe) for the longest market season in the state of Colorado.

You can also load up on bread and baked goods, plants and flowers, and Colorado-crafted specialty and ready-to-eat foods from our great vendors.

Long before Longmont was know as a bustling tech center, it was sustained by thousands of acres of farmland — starting with the establishment of a flour mill in 1887, and later with the vegetable cannery built in 1889. These days, Longmont farms provide much more than just sugar beets, and preserved farm land in Longmont and beyond helps fill our market with fresh, seasonal vegetables, dairy products, and Colorado-raised meats. We’re proud to be a growers-only market, meaning every product at the Longmont Farmers Market is created locally and sold by the vendors who produce it.

If you have extra “volunteer” plants in your yard that have not been treated with pesticides, dig them up, put them in a pot, and bring them to our plant exchange!
