Calling all nature lovers! If you are
curious about how plants and animals get through the chilly winter season in
Colorado, you will want to check out the Wonder of Winter Slide Program, hosted by the Louisville Public Library. Join Boulder County’s
trained volunteer naturalists on January 29th for an afternoon of discovery and
fun, where they will cover the ins and outs of how flora and fauna adapt to the
harsh weather, from the Continental Divide all the way to the Great Plains.
These passionate volunteers know all about Colorado’s diverse landscape and
love sharing their knowledge. This event is free to attend, but space is
limited. As is the case with most of their events, the library is asking
attendees to register online
ahead of time so they are able to accommodate as many people as safely possible
under current COVID restrictions.
Colorado is a one-of-a-kind state, host
to native buffalo, great herds of elk, color-changing foxes, hardy evergreens,
and so much more! No matter how much you think you know about nature in the
peaks, foothills, and plains, even the most seasoned experts are constantly
discovering surprising facts about how these amazing creatures survive and
thrive in even the coldest of months.
The Louisville Public Library offers many
programs and events for Boulder County residents to attend, including
interactive TV and movie screenings like Snark Attack, and teen events like the
Anime Club and Teen Gaming night. Other events offer the opportunity to sharpen
your financial skills, learn the ins and outs of tracing your family tree
through Ancestry.com,
or get a hands-on art lesson with a hint of cultural history. You can even win
a free National Parks Pass this month by testing your smarts at the Nerdfest
Family Trivia! Check out the library’s events calendar
to find a program that works with your schedule and interests.
The Front Range is host to many
opportunities to interact with and learn about its native plants and animals,
such as the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge and the trails and buildings of historic Colorado Chautauqua. Conveniently located in Gunbarrel, Habitat Apartments provides its residents easy access to all of Boulder County’s natural
and historical landmarks, in addition to the library’s free educational
resources and programs. Whether you want to hit the trails or hit the books,
Habitat Apartments is a great place to start. Check out our floorplans
