SUMMARY:From Pikes Peak to South Park
DESCRIPTION:Bud Wobus\nMid-tertiary Volcanism and the Shape of the Land \nLate Eocene volcanic activity of vastly different styles produced a variety of products and landforms between Pikes Peak and South Park. They mantled and modified the landscape which had been developed on the Precambrian basement rocks more than a billion years older. Pyroclastic flows from the Sawatch Range blasted across a surface of low relief 36 million years ago\, filling valleys with the resistant Wall Mountain Tuff. Lava flows\, mudflows\, and ash from the Guffey volcanic center created and then buried Lake Florissant about 2 million years later. This seminar begins with an introductory overview at the Monument followed by a 3/4-day field trip to the Guffey area and back via two different routes to visit the rocks produced during these volcanic episodes.\n\nMeet at the Yurt at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.\n\nCost:\n  Friends Members: $15.00\n  Non-Members:      $25.00

SUMMARY:Fens\, Forests\, and Flowers (Day 2)
DESCRIPTION:  \nDoug Coleman \nThe flora and ecosystems of the South Park Valley and the Florissant region show many fascinating connections with cool late Pleistocene climate and glacial distribution. Neither does one have to venture far to find species from warmer climates on dry south facing slopes and rock faces. With adequate snow fall creating much needed moisture\, this year’s wildflower bloom promises to be spectacular\, likely yielding bloom that has not been seen in recent years. Native trees\, shrubs and wildflowers associated with their natural community types will be the class theme. This is a two day seminar. Day 1 will be primarily at Florissant Fossil Beds. Day 2 will be a trip to the Fen in the South Park near Fairplay. If participants can only do 1 day\, the first day is recommended.\nMeet at: TDB\n\n\nCost:\n  Friends Members: $15.00\n  Non-Members:      $25.00

SUMMARY:Flammulated Owls
DESCRIPTION:Brian Linkhart\nThe Natural History and Ecology of Flammulated Owls \nFlammulated Owls\, tiny raptors that hide in the shadows of ponderosa pines by day and fly as silently as a breeze on starlit summer evenings\, were little known for more than a century. The results of more than 30 years of study have shed light on the ecology and habitat of the sensitive owl\, with the aim of assisting in the development of conservation plans for forest ecosystems containing this and other sensitive animals. Participants in the field-based course will learn about the natural history and ecology of the owl\, and will participate in a nocturnal adventure into territories of owls in an attempt to hear whispers of its territorial song\, observe its nesting behaviors\, and possibly attempt captures of adult owls. Participants should be prepared to take short to moderate hikes over steep\, forested terrain\, in a landscape illuminated only by soft starlight (and your headlamp)\, and may have the opportunity to experience close encounters with several forest creatures\, including owls. Previous knowledge of ecology and bird identification is helpful but not mandatory.\nThis course is especially suitable for science teachers or those with an\ninterest in ornithology\, ecology\, or field biology. \nMeet at Manitou Experimental Forest \n  \nCost:\n  Friends Members: $15.00\n  Non-Members:      $25.00

SUMMARY:From Planets to Quasars
DESCRIPTION:Shane Burns \nFrom Planets to Quasars: Our Place in the Universe \nFor centuries\, humans have looked up at the heavens and wondered about the origin and fate of the universe. Did the universe have a beginning? If so\, how old is the universe? In the last 75 years we have learned the answers to many of these questions. The universe seems to have begun 13.7 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. However\, the answers to these questions have inspired new questions. Will the universe expand forever or will gravity someday stop the expansion and reverse it—leading to a “big crunch?” We think we know the answer to this question as well. In 1998 two rival teams of astronomers discovered that the expansion is actually accelerating! We know how the universe is expanding but we don’t understand why. The 2011 Nobel Prize was awarded to the leaders of these teams for their discovery. The “stuff” that causes accelerated expansion has been dubbed dark energy. Understanding the nature of dark energy is likely to shake the very foundations of our conception of the physical world. During our time together\, we will see the latest images and data from the Hubble Space Telescope\, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and other modern telescopes and discuss what we know about the universe and what is still a mystery. \nMeet at the Nature Place – Sanborn Western Camps \nCost:\n  Friends Members: $15.00\n  Non-Members:      $25.00

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Summer Solstice\, the longest day and shortest night of the year! We’ll explore the importance of the seasons to the historical inhabitants of the area\, and celebrate by sharing some of the star and constellation stories told by native peoples. In the telescope\, we’ll see Mars\, Saturn\, and some of the best star clusters\, nebulae\, and other deep-sky treasures of the summer. Meet at the Visitor Center.\nFollowing the program\, we’ll step outside for 60-70 minutes of stargazing with telescopes\, binoculars\, and laser-guided tours of the stars and constellations.\nPlease dress warmly\, as evenings at the park’s high elevation can be cool even in the summer. Bring binoculars or a flashlight if you wish (red-filtered lights only please). Also\, please note that viewing is weather-dependent\, and takes place only if the sky is clear. Indoor presentations take place rain or shine.\nAdmission for the program is the regular park entrance fee which is $3 per adult (16 years and older) children and federal pass holders are free. Please call (719) 748-3253 ext. 202 for more information.

SUMMARY:Wildfire in Colorado's Ponderosa Pine
DESCRIPTION:Paula Fornwalt\nWildfire in Colorado’s Ponderosa Pine-Dominated Forests: Friend or Foe to Plants? \nIt’s hard to believe that twelve years have passed since the Hayman Fire charred nearly 140\,000 acres on the Pike National Forest. In this talk\, Paula will provide us with an overview on her research examining how plant communities within the fire perimeter have changed during the first post-fire decade. She will also discuss how attributes of some common plant species (for example\, ability/inability to sprout from below ground parts\, ability/inability to disperse seeds long distances on the wind) in these communities influenced their post-fire response.\n\nMeet At: Manitou Experimental Forest\n\n\nCost:\n  Friends Members: $15.00\n  Non-Members:      $25.00

SUMMARY:Making and Using Journals
DESCRIPTION:Toni Ratzlaff \nThis seminar will give you an opportunity to make several journals from common\, readily available materials.  We will make journals and talk about their various uses. We will take a guided hike with a ranger during which and after we will use the journal to show in some way what we experienced on the hike. We will discuss what can be added to the journals in addition to drawings and words. This seminar shows how we can introduce recycling items to our students/friends. We will learn how to create fun books for journals\, photo albums\, memory books and gifts. \nMeet at the Yurt at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument \nCost:\n  Friends Members: $15.00\n  Non-Members:      $25.00

SUMMARY:Trails 4 Teens
DESCRIPTION:Calling All Teens Challenge: Summer? Let’s Hike!\nA new initiative at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument to engage teens\, the future caretakers of our national parks. Interested teens can pick up their hiking contest log sheet at the visitor center front desk starting June 7.\n(Press Release) – May 29\, 2014 – The National Park Service\, the Coalition of the Upper South Platte\, and the Friends of the Florissant Fossil Beds are challenging teens to hike all 14 miles of trails at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.\n“The purpose of the ‘Trails 4 Teens’ program is to help connect youth to Florissant Fossil Beds through fun\, engaging experiences on the parks 14 miles of trails\,” said Ranger Jeff Wolin.\n“Through working and playing on the trails the teens will be able to understand and appreciate Florissant Fossil Beds and our national parks and be moved to become the next stewards of our country’s great treasures\,” Wolin said.\nThe requirements to participate in the Trails 4 Teens program are:\n• Participants must be 13 – 19 years old.\n• Be able to come to the Monument during work hours between June 7 and September 28. \nWolin believes in the benefits for those teens who join this new program. “The benefits for teens would be a chance to be with friends in a new place\, a challenge that they can overcome and become healthier while they do it\,” he said. “It is also a chance to learn about a new career and new opportunities.”\n“Our national parks belong to all of us\,” Wolin said. “Many adults realize this and take advantage of visiting parks\, but teens are an underserved audience.”\n“They represent the future caretakers of our national parks. National parks provide a place for teens to socialize with friends in a safe and healthy atmosphere and can provide challenges that engage teens such as hiking and other outdoor activities” Wolin said.\nPrizes and a recognition ceremony are planned at the end of the program. “All participants that complete the challenge will receive a t-shirt and be entered to win prizes\,” Wolin said. “We will have a recognition ceremony on National Public Lands Day which is September 28\, 2014.”\nAnyone 15 or younger is free to participate. Any participant 16 or older is $3.00 per person unless an adult with a pass accompanies them.\nAbout Trails 4 Teens Program: A new initiative at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument to engage teens.
