Nature Notes: An Exploration of Ralston Creek Trail

Join me and other enthusiastic naturalists for a free, hands-on nature workshop inspired by my upcoming mural along Ralston Creek Trail. We will explore the vibrant ecosystem of Ralston Creek while learning to observe and document the plants, animals, and insects that call it home. Our discoveries will inform the mural's final design, making your observations part of Arvada’s public art! Whether you're a seasoned naturalist or just curious about the local trail, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and art, and to contribute to a lasting community project. More information will be emailed upon registration. All ages welcome. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Workshops take place on 9/1, 9/7, and 9/8. Register below!
