The Colorado River has made life possible in the arid Southwest, yet today it is a river that has been named one of the most endangered waterways in the U.S. This free program, presented by historian Tammy Snook, will explore the past, present, and uncertain future of the river. Snook will discuss the historic ecology of the river, the era of dam construction, overallocation of the river's water, and how climate change is affecting the watershed. Stop on by to learn more about this valuable resource that sustains our community.

Boulder County Seed Collection I - Family Friendly - Minimum Age: 8 with Adult. Volunteers will help ensure the success of future public land restoration projects by hand-collecting seeds from a variety of native species, including grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs in the foothills of Boulder,CO. Local botanists will be working on site and will provide identification of wildflowers and other native plants during the project.

Why collect native seeds? Using native seeds in re-vegetation efforts is essential to restoring native plant diversity. Some native species are not available commercially, are too expensive, or the available seeds are not ecologically appropriate. Our collected seeds will be used in local habitat restoration projects, or may be grown out in an agricultural setting to increase them 100 or 1000 fold, vastly increasing the amount of locally-adapted seed that is available for local restoration projects.

LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED!
The location of seed collections can only be determined 2-3 days prior to each event, given the varying growth rates of the many species we collect. This project is in Boulder County. Once you register, you'll receive info by e-mail 2-3 days prior about the location, directions and species you'll be collecting.

We are celebrating Latino Conservation Week with a trip to Canyon Lake for a morning of flat-water kayaking, beach games, and swimming, with youth from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Phoenix and Chispa AZ. We will be cleaning up some trash along the shore of the lake as well to help leave the space in better condition than we find it.
