Janet S - Volunteer Naturalist
I grew up in Boulder County, and have always loved the landscape here, from the plains to the high peaks. One of my parents was a scientist and the other a visual artist, and both perspectives have influenced my life; I want to be able to understand how things work, and also to appreciate their beauty. I think one of the most important challenges for humankind right now is to understand our place in the ecosystem, and learn to live like the rest of the natural world is our kin.
Molly R - Volunteer Naturalist
My Dad instilled the love of nature in me since I was born. He would quiz us on geology, plants and animals as we went on road trips to National Parks and camping by lakes in Washington state. I carried those experiences into my adult life with my kids and when I retired I became more involved in citizen science and advocating for natural areas and completed the Oregon Master Naturalist program. When I moved to Colorado a few years ago BCOS was a natural fit for those endeavors.
Stephanie S - Volunteer Naturalist
I’ve lived in Colorado more than 25 years and am so happy to call it home. I grew up in Nebraska and started my career in New Jersey… most of that time I had my nose in a book. When I got to Colorado I discovered the great outdoors. I love to run (at a snail’s pace so I can soak in the scenery) on the many wonderful trails here in Boulder County. I am eager to share my passion for all that Nature has to offer with this community to which I feel so deeply connected.
Susan M - Volunteer Naturalist
I am a recently retired academic editor who has lived in Boulder County for 55 years. I’m an avid xeriscape and native-plant gardener, and I love exploring our wild lands by foot, bike, and skis.
