Spend a cozy evening by the campfire, complete with stories and s’mores! These programs are suitable for all ages. Dress warmly and bring water to drink. Campfires at Nix Farm do not include a hike and are wheelchair accessible. Bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on if you like (limited seating available). Tonight's theme is: Adapted for Darkness: Discover how birds, bats, and other animals have adapted to thrive in the dark.

This is located between two medical buildings. After about 1 block, the Poudre River Drive ends and you will see a paved road to your right which is Hoffman Mill Road.

I moved to Fort Collins in 1999, and retired in 2016 after 31 years as a wildlife ecologist with the USDA National Wildlife Research Center. I enjoy traveling, golfing, skiing, hiking and watching wildlife, especially birds.
I am a veterinarian as well as a retired PSD science and physical education teacher. I served a total of twenty years on the Parks and Recreation board. I enjoy teaching and participating in fun activities as well as meeting new friends. I love to do activities with Ivy, my therapy dog. I am an author. My book, Drinking From the Trough: A Veterinarian's Memoir, by can ordered in the usual places. Enjoy! My second book is in the works!
Colorado native that loves to visit everywhere else, but always wants to come home to Colorado. Grew up fishing and hiking, now I'm more into kayaking and hiking. I love how Fort Collins encourages all of us to get up and get outside!
