Natural History - Seniors
Moderate Hike. Wildflowers are blooming and showing their bright colors. Purples, yellows, whites, and reds dot the hillsides and valleys at higher elevations. Bask in the natural beauty that sprouts from the ground. Find these flowers along the trail as volunteer naturalists share stories and uses for some of our native plant species and learn more about their special relationships with the pollinators and insects that make up their micro-community.

Ann C - Volunteer Naturalist
I grew up in a small village in Cumbria, with the English countryside as my wild playground. I accidentally emigrated in 1965, and since then have been catching up on all aspects of Colorado’s wildlife. (My newest passion is moths. I have a B.Sc. in physiology from University of London, which I used only for five years of medical research. After a time-out for mothering, I turned to writing—twelve books so far—as a way to avoid working nine to five. I began volunteering for BCPOS in 1978,

I’m a long time Colorado resident and have explored many of its natural wonders and love to share them. Many years of outdoor naturalist programs mainly with adults including mountain, sunset and night hikes. Also outdoor programs for kids with birds, flowers, mammals, etc.
Mary C - Volunteer Naturalist
In our busy working lives so many people lose contact with nature and its healing ways. I hope to inspire people of all ages to experience nature in a healthy and therapeutic way, to reduce their anxiety and form a bond with the outdoor world, to gain strength by learning from nature.
