Celebrating Caribou Ranch

 07/14/2025  |  10:00 AM - 02:00 PM
  Caribou Ranch  |  Registration Required

Natural History - All Ages Welcome

Caribou Ranch closes during early spring and summer to allow elk, deer, and now moose to raise their young undisturbed. It's a magical place to see a wide range of flora and fauna, and we are celebrating its reopening to two-legged mammals with a 4-mile hike to explore the property's history, geology, and plant and animal life. The group will stop for lunch during the program — please pack a lunch!

Minimum Participants: 5
Maximum Participants: 25

I love to hike and mountain bike year-round and spend time in nature with the amazing wildflowers, forests and rock formations around us. I am excited to be part of the BCPOS volunteer naturalist program to share my love of the outdoors with others and learn what sparks your interest on the trails.

Educated in natural sciences, MS in geology. I worked for the USGS as a field geologist in Mineral Resources for 10 years before stepping back to raise my children. Later I worked in the schools as a para-educator working with gifted kids, special ed, and resource support in high school supporting math and science classes. Now in retirement I volunteer as a raptor nest monitor, burrowing owl monitor and volunteer naturalist for Boulder County as well as with CPW and BCNA.
