Open to all ages. Longmont Public Library 4th Ave. A September marked the one-year anniversary of the fire that burned nearly 1,100 acres of Walker Ranch. Join seasonal park interpreters, Chris Bates and Amy Hurford, for a slide program documenting the fire, devastation, rehabilitation efforts, and revegetation that has occurred since the blaze. You will also learn about the natural role of fire in forest ecosystems and the forest management practices that mitigated the effects and scale of the Walker Ranch Fire.
All ages are welcome.
Be prepared for a moderate 3-mile hike, dress for the weather, wear hiking shoes or boots, and bring drinking water. All ages are welcome. We will carpool from our meeting place, searching for raptors, learning about habitat, and working on our observation and identification skills. Participants should dress for the weather, bring lunch, drinking water, and binoculars and a bird field guide, if you have them. The tour is geared for adults and older children.
