The Color of Nature: Kids Program

Betasso Preserve 377 Betasso Rd, Boulder

Using activities, we will learn about what is happening in the fall when the colors of nature show off. We'll look for animals that stand out or camouflage and examine the changes plants are going through as they all prepare for winter. This program is geared toward children ages 5 to 8, but all are welcome. Registration for most programs begins on the 20th of the month before the event. Registration required. Register Registration is required through Discover Boulder County, Parks & Open Space’s volunteer and event registration system. If you’re new to the system, you'll need to create an account. But it’s easy and we only use your contact information to communicate about events you register for. We will never sell or give your information to a third party.
