Boulder County supports an amazing variety of grasses. The grass family is one of the most important and common plant families, yet grasses are often overlooked because some don’t regard them as very showy. But look closely, and you’ll develop a new appreciation for these beautiful plants! Grasses provide critical food for people and wildlife, prevent soil erosion, and are heroes in the fight against climate change.

Betsy N - Volunteer Naturalist
I greatly enjoy exploring Boulder’s trails with family and friends. Retired from the Nature Conservancy, I’m excited to share my love of plants and the natural world through the Volunteer Naturalist program!
Jennifer G - Volunteer Naturalist
I’ve lived in Boulder since 1982 ... drawn to the beauty and wide open spaces of the Rocky Mountains. I am grateful for the abundance of open space in Boulder County and want to help others to enjoy it as much as I have over many years. I’m especially interested in sharing insights about the diverse Boulder county life zones and the big picture of the natural systems that sustain our open spaces.
Kathy K - Volunteer Naturalist
I grew up on a farm, working the fields and managing livestock. In college, I was introduced to the Colorado mountains by my husband, and we spent many years camping, hiking, backpacking, and exploring Colorado with friends, neighbors, and family. He encouraged my love of birds, flowers, trees, and native edibles, and I learned that I shared his passion for geology and paleontology. I spent 35 years in engineering and management, including work for the NSF, and remain an avid naturalist.
Rebecca K - Volunteer Naturalist
I have lived in Boulder County for 40 years, having come from the south hills of Pittsburgh, PA where I grew up playing in the woods surrounding my home and loved to go caving and hiking. After moving to Colorado, I have been an avid skier, hiker, camper and sometimes fly fisher. I am excited to share my passion for the outdoors and knowledge of the Boulder area with people of all ages.
