The 3rd annual at Crest View Elementary brought together 81 4th graders and 29 volunteers to explore the biodiversity surrounding the school. Students discovered and identified 92 different organisms! THANK YOU to the wonderful teachers and administration at Crest View who support integrating outdoor education and community collaborations, and to the volunteers from CU Science Discovery, Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research - NWT LTER site, and the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies departments at University of Colorado Boulder, The Nature Conservancy, City of Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks, and Classrooms for Climate Action, who took time and energy out of their days to get kids fired up about the natural world!
