Pollinators play essential roles in our food supply and the health of ecosystems. While many of us think of honeybees as the primary pollinators, much of the work is done by other surprising sources — including beetles, butterflies, moths, wind, and water. Discover the many pollination strategies of plants during this family-friendly slideshow and outdoor walk. We’ll explore how plants and animals work together to create a bountiful world — and what we can do to help them thrive.

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,
Dona A - Volunteer Naturalist
My childhood memories are endless joyful hours playing amidst miles of orange and avocado groves in Orange County CA. Summer camps and wilderness training in the Sierra and Rocky Mountains fostered an intense curiosity of nature’s many-layered secrets through self-reflection, learning, and the sharing of those secrets with others. After too many years working in Silicon Valley tech I have emerged to celebrate the natural world in Boulder County. Come celebrate with me!
Patricia S - Volunteer Naturalist
I’m a Kansas transplant who became attached to Colorado and dreamed of living there as an adult. As a child, my grandparents took me to CO every summer for nature study camp and hiking in the Rockies. My dream came true when I moved here 45 years ago. I find renewal in nature, I love hiking, birdwatching, and walking my dogs. I enjoy looking for wildlife and wildflowers on open space trails and in the mountains. I look forward to learning more about Boulder County nature and wildlife.
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.
