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.
Our connection to nature is often a deeply personal, spiritual experience. When I trot up a trail, it is about so much more than the physical act of walking. It puts me in a more receptive mindset, I am paying attention to things that are there as much as the things that aren’t. Nature is where I feel at home, where I come to seek clarity, seek guidance, seek thought and yes, seek answers, about the challenges that life throws my way.
