Where: Reservoir Ridge Natural Area, Overland Trail Road Entrance When: June 1, 8:30am - 10:30am, meet at the parking lot off of Overland Trail, across from the Poudre Overlook Subdivision Program Description: The bobolinks are back! Each year for a short time, we are visited by one of Colorado's rare birds, the bobolink, and they only come to one place in Fort Collins - Reservoir Ridge! Kids - bring your parents for a fun morning of bobolink spotting. We will take a short hike and learn to listen and see this special visitor and some of its friends. All materials will be provided. Accessibility: Program takes place on a wide dirt trail, easy and flat. Hike is approximately 1 mile long. Accessible bathroom available at parking lot. What to Bring: Dress appropriately for the weather forecast. Bring multiple layers for both active walking and standing still. This hike has little to no shade. Bring sunscreen, a hat / sunglasses, closed-toe, sturdy shoes, and plenty of water. Trails may be muddy so please wear proper footwear. Hiking poles are a great option if you are concerned about balance on uneven/muddy terrain. Bring binoculars if you want a closer look! ___________________________________________________________________ People of all abilities and disabilities are welcome to participate in all programs and we are happy to make any appropriate accommodations.

LinksThank you Fort Collins and Larimer County voters! Your support of citizen-initiated sales taxes makes land conservation and educational activities like this possible.
I worked in the outdoor industry for 22 years for climbing, mountain and ski equipment and apparel brands. After that, I became involved in local land conservation efforts here in NoCO. I have guided hikes for the Family Nature Summits, a nationwide conservation nonprofit, since (gulp!) 1989. I love getting people outside, connecting them with the outdoors, helping them challenge themselves and better understand the natural world.
