In addition to this keynote address, the course will consist of an intensive weekend fieldtrip to the Vail Valley, October 20-22. CMC is committed to insuring that Colorado's natural legacy is conserved, a proud tradition within the Club. This series of courses is the first that we're aware of that will inform and empower citizens of the state to learn more about Colorado's natural history and environmental issues and work together to make a positive impact. All keynote addresses and courses will be held at the Colorado Mountain Club offices in the American Mountaineering Center at 710 10th Street in Golden. The Colorado Mountain Club invites, welcomes, and encourages the general public to attend the course keynote addresses made by Ed Marston, Martha Ketelle and Terry Minger, and John Fielder.
Enrollment is limited.
Some partial scholarships are available. For over 90 years, the Colorado Mountain Club has worked steadily to help preserve and make accessible the alpine attractions of the region. The Natural History and Environmental Issues School represents a new facet of this commitment. Courses presented by the school will offer participants unique access to experts in the fields of natural history and environmental issues. Furthermore, the courses will illustrate the many ways that Coloradoans can become involved in helping to protect our region's landscapes and resources.
