Dr. Wayne Shepperd’s aspen ecology seminar on August 11th finished the summer seminar series. The seminar was well-attended by local teachers, who had a chance to go out in the field to see different aspects of aspen ecology and discuss possible conservation methods for encouraging growth in different types of stands.

On Sunday, July 29, the paleontology seminar visited one of the park’s best mammal sites to look for fossils. Unfortunately, they did not find much this time, one of the unavoidable disappointments of field science.

Friday night’s flammulated owl (“flam”) seminar, taught by Colorado College biology professor Brian D. Linkhart, was a success. This seminar provided an unusual opportunity for the participants to see active and unusually in-depth scientific research, as well as the chance to see a shy and unusual species up close.
