it’s a critical refuge for some of Colorado’s most iconic and threatened bird species. But what does it actually take to protect a species on the brink? Join us for an evening with Whit Blair, Species Conservation Biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. From the high-desert leks of the Gunnison Sage-grouse to the hidden waterfall nests of the elusive Black Swift, Whit will take us behind the scenes of wildlife conservation on the Western Slope. Hear first-hand accounts of the challenges and triumphs of studying birds in the wild, and what these species have taught us about resilience and the future of Colorado's ecosystems. All proceeds from this event will benefit the EUREKA! Environmental Institute Scholarship Fund. These scholarships remove financial barriers, allowing local students to participate in hands-on "outdoor classroom" programs—from river ecology expeditions to wildlife biology camps. Your attendance helps ensure that every child in the Grand Valley, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to explore, learn, and become a future steward of our wild spaces. There's a chance to win door prizes for every ticket purchased. Thanks to REI for their support! Drinks available for purchase.
