Evergreen Nature
Center (at the Lake) |
The Evergreen Nature Center (located in the old warming house at Evergreen Lake) will open to the public for a sneak peak at the Earth Day Celebration on April 19. This cozy, charming structure will host exhibits on local birds and their migration patterns, the Bear Creek Watershed, information about the mammals that we live with in our environment, and the aquatic life in Evergreen Lake. That’s just for starters! Members of the nature center planning committee are working to develop interesting programs, a varied assortment of exhibits, and volunteer staffing opportunities. The search for an executive director is also underway. This paid position will be responsible for the daily activities in the center, and will work with our committees to continue development of the center into a wonderful resource for local Evergreen residents and our many visitors to the park. The Evergreen Nature Center is a project of Evergreen Audubon in cooperation with Evergreen Park and Recreation Department. EPRD will continue to use part of the building for boat rentals in the summer, and may host other functions there as well. We have worked out a plan that should satisfy both organizations. It has been a longtime dream of TENAS to have a nature center; that dream is now coming into fruition. The hut is staffed from 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Sunday April to October. Not sure about the other times...I'm guessing it's not open when it is not staffed. Stop by for a look, it might make a worthwhile field-trip or it might just be nice to discover on your own. |

The
Gnome Experience (DMNS) |
There are small hidden gnomes--painted into the diorama murals at
the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. There may be as many as 6 or 7
all around the museum. Vicky has only found one in the dinosaur
section. The library at the museum has a pamphlet on the background and
where they are. You probably haven't heard much about the gnomes, but
Vicky will be going to the Museum for the express purpose of finding
them all. Join her if this sounds fun to you!! The Library
there does have a hand-out on the dioramas and where to find the gnomes. |

 Time: Friday the 30th of May at 1:00 pm |
