Join the Boulder Watershed Collective, Louisville Open Space, Grama Grass, and the Louisville Fire Protection district, along with other local partners, to take a short walk in our local grasslands and learn about some of the nuances involved in planning and managing these landscapes. We'll start at the Davidson Mesa Trailhead, and from there we'll take a mellow walk (a mile or less), interspersed with stops to discuss what we see and how management objectives are approached on the ground.

Topics will include:

Grassland ecology: how local grasses interact with grazing, fire, and moisture

Prairie dogs: challenges and approaches to prairie dog management in Louisville Open Space.

Grazing: the objectives, methods, and outcomes of grazing on local grasslands

Wildfire: grassland fire behavior and ecology, individual preparedness, and agency planning/response

P lease do not bring dogs to this event.
