North Boulder County Wildlife Crossings Project- US 36 between Boulder and Lyons

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

Boulder County Open Space, along with our partner departments of Transportation and Public Works, is pursuing implementation of wildlife crossing structures on US Highway 36 between Boulder and Lyons, specifically between Left Hand Canyon and US Highway 66. There are several reasons for our formalized pursuit of wildlife crossings. Boulder County has been concerned about the safety of the public and the wildlife due to the high level of annual wildlife-vehicle collisions in this stretch. As the primary landowner of the adjacent lands along this stretch, Boulder County is ready to take the steps necessary to address this issue, to protect wildlife and our residents and visitors.

Boulder’s Pollinator-Safe Plant Exchange

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

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! You might see something you like from someone else’s garden. If so, it’s yours—for free! If you don’t have any plants to give, come take some anyway. We’ll have plenty!

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.
