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:Fens\, Forests\, and Flowers (Day 1)
DESCRIPTION:Doug 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.\n\nMeet at the Yurt at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.\n\n\nCost:\n  Friends Members: $15.00\n  Non-Members:      $25.00

SUMMARY:Astronomy Program
DESCRIPTION:Join Ranger Leo Sack and see the night sky the way it used to look before city lights crowded out the stars.  Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument offers an ideal balance between convenient location – an easy drive from Colorado Springs – and a sky dark enough to reveal the countless stars that once lit the night for our ancestors.

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
