Join in on an update from Ollin Farms and friends on the current efforts to increase soil health in Boulder County, while also increasing access to locally grown nutrient-dense food. From changing weather patterns to economic challenges of land stewards, to widespread use of herbicides on Open Space, there are many hurdles facing local ecosystems. The good news is that adoption of innovative approaches to managing nutrients, water, and biological systems on food-producing and Open Space lands is also increasing.

This evening will feature presentations from local project leaders along with tables of local businesses and organizations promoting ecosystem health. Plenty of opportunities to educate yourself on these topics and learn how to get involved.

Working together, we can restore our connection to the natural world through ecosystem restoration, seasonal eating, and community connection.

Presenters include Ollin Farms, Boulder Mushroom, Wildlands Restoration Volunteers, People Pollinator Action Network, and some special youth leaders organizing volunteer efforts. Join us for an evening of learning and community engagement.
