Where - Nix Farm Offices, 1745 Hoffman Mill Road. When - Tuesday, November 19, 5:30p.m. - 7p.m. Program Description - Much of the interpretive programs and passion of nature lovers center around bird ID and forbs with attractive flowers (“wildflowers”) But what is often ignored are the most important and dominant plant forms such as grasses species of the prairie, shrub species of the foothills and the trees of higher elevation. These plant forms are the base of each ecosystem, most important in the eco-connections of the web of life and the habitat of birds and mammals. This program will center attention on the trees (primarily conifers) in the life zones from the front range through to the subalpine. Twelve conifer species will identify by dichotomous key and 41 PowerPoint images. Accessibility - This program will take place indoors and is in a building with accessible parking and restrooms.

I have returned to Fort Collins in retirement after living overseas for over 30 years. I attended CSU graduating in 1973.

I love working outdoors and am interested in restoring native grasses and plants to our neighborhoods and natural areas.
Hi there! My name is Lauren, and I am a public engagement specialist at the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Dept. Please reach out to me with questions about public programs and Club Outdoors.
I am a retired elementary school teacher. I was an interventionist for students struggling with reading and math at O'Dea Elementary here in Ft. Collins. I raised 3 children while living here in Ft. Collins with my husband, David. My children have children of their own now and continue to live here. We love the area and all that it has to offer, especially in regards to anything outdoor and with sports. I am enjoying my retirement learning about nature journaling, birding and plants.
