Cool Grasses of Heil Valley Ranch

Description

Have you ever wondered about the grasses that grow along Boulder’s trails? Join volunteer naturalists for a 1.5-mile hike — with 250 feet of elevation gain and loss — at Heil Valley Ranch to learn about early season grasses of the foothills. We’ll search for different species, discuss the vital role grasses play in healthy ecosystems, and explore wildfire impacts and management activities. Look closely, and you might develop a new appreciation for our beautiful — yet often overlooked — grasses.

Registration for most programs begins on the 20th of the month before the event.
