Natural History - All Ages Welcome
Does it seem like astronomers speak a different language? Let's demystify some astronomical names and terms. Join us for fun demonstrations and an interactive ‘language’ lesson. Then, view the night sky and understand, as astronomers describe what we see through the telescopes. Bring a chair or blanket, a light jacket, and a red flashlight, and get ready to enjoy a night out with the family. The presentation is at the picnic shelter. It is followed by stargazing in the parking area. Telescopes are provided by the Longmont Astronomical Society.

Deborah P - Volunteer Naturalist
I retired from Boulder County Parks & Open Space in 2022. I love sharing information about the natural world and our local history with children and adults. I also love teaching astronomy and helping people better understand how celestial motion works, and how dark skies are important to us all.
John W - Volunteer Naturalist
I earned a BS in Zoology and did graduate work in Wildlife Management, but spent my career in IT as a programmer and network architect. Now that I am retired, I can spend more time enjoying nature. My favorite topics are wildlife, nature photography and astronomy. I am a member of the Parks and Open Space Advisory Committee.
Roylene M - Volunteer Naturalist
Tim L - Volunteer Naturalist
I grew up in northwestern Ohio. My favorite place was always outside. I have an undergraduate degree in Biology. Living in Colorado has been a great gift, and I need to give back to the community in appreciation for all I have received and experienced. Becoming a volunteer naturalist is the perfect way to meet that need. It combines my curiosity about the natural world, my love for the outdoors, and the opportunity to provide service to those who also call Boulder County home.
