Natural History - All Ages Welcome
Join us to meet some of our most important native conifers. We will walk about 2 miles around Mud Lake and down to the creek, looking for examples of the diversity of conifers in this ecosystem, including pine, spruce, and fir. We will attend to the habitats of the various evergreen species, why they are, where they are, and look for evidence of their relationships with other plant and animal members of the forest community. We’ll talk about how climate change affects conifers and will learn some identification tips.

Dave F - Volunteer Naturalist
I am an avid naturalist with an academic background in ecology. After a short career with the National Park Service, I had a long career in technology. For my encore career, I participate in citizen science projects, work on native plant landscapes and am an active birder. Love to travel with horses and dogs.
Gaia M - Volunteer Naturalist
I am a lover of plants, a student of native plant gardening, an avid hiker and a retired psychologist. I've spent most of my adult life in Boulder learning this land while working at Counseling & Psychological Services at CU and teaching at CU and Naropa. I look forward to engaging with others in deepening our sense of connection to this awesome place, and in opening our senses to the land and water and plants and critters whose lives we are entangled with.
