This unique bird walk at Heil Valley Ranch offers insight into fire ecology and its impact on local bird populations. We will discuss the role of fire in shaping the landscape and how birds adapt and even thrive after a fire. Bring a pair of binoculars and your trusty field guide. We will have a small number of binoculars available to be borrowed for the event. We will meet in the parking lot near the Lichen Loop.

I enjoy being outdoors and delight in the harmony that nature’s diversity brings. As a volunteer naturalist, I hope to promote an increased appreciation of our natural environment and how important this connection is to individual and community well-being.
I’m a Boulder native with family roots in Mexico. I grew up spending summers on my grandfather’s farm in Chihuahua and was fortunate enough to be exposed to the natural resources of Colorado through school trips and summer camps as a teen. All of these experiences helped foster an appreciation and love for the outdoors in me. I love to hike, camp, fish and birdwatch, and most importantly, I like doing those things with people who haven’t or don’t do them often.
My name is Olivia, and I am a lifelong Coloradan! I grew up in the suburbs around Denver, earned a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, and am now attending the University of Colorado Boulder for a PhD in Biochemistry. Living across Colorado has instilled in me a love of the outdoors, from skiing and hiking in the Rockies to biking and birding along the Front Range. In all my outdoor adventures, I love nothing more than seeing great wildlife!
