Get to know Boulder. Get to know Boulder better. I bet you will learn something new if you participate in the Natural Selections hikes/events. Natural Selections is the City of Boulder’s ongoing series of educational nature programs on topics including ecology, wildlife, local history, night hikes, children’s programs, plus many more. These programs happen year around and are free and open to the public.
Take a look at these great upcoming hikes & programs for families:
Family Wildlife Program

Join Education and Outreach coordinator Jean Koszalka for a morning hike at the top of Flagstaff Mountain to look at some of the incredible animals that call Open Space and Mountain Parks home. We will explore their habitat, and play a few games to help us understand how they use their senses. We will meet at the Flagstaff Nature Center. Please leave your pups at home.
