A lightning talk is a enjoyable, entertaining and informative 5-minute talk by a subject matter expert. Listen to presentations by City of Fort Collins Natural Areas staff and volunteers while enjoying food and drinks available for purchase. There will be three presentations, 5-minutes each, then there will be a short break where you can mingle with the experts and ask them your questions! Then, a second set of three speakers will share their talks. Topics include: - Who is the Masked Prairie Bandit (featuring a black-footed ferret) - Language Justice in the Outdoors - A Restoration Project at Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area - The Northern Leopard Frog and How Natural Areas is Supporting its Habitat - What Wildlife Camera Images from Natural Areas Tell Us - The Natural Areas Strategic Framework AND MORE! ___________________________________________________________________ People of all abilities and disabilities are welcome to participate in all programs and we are happy to make any appropriate accommodations.

AJ C - Staff/Trainers
I am a Public Engagement Specialist with the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas and I organize community programs, programs by request and interpretive communications like signs and brochures. I'm excited to be back in Fort Collins again after being gone for 15 years. My favorite things to talk about are conservation issues, conservation research and raptors!! The black blur in the profile photo is my cattle dog. She never stops moving!
