2024 Summary

In February 2024, the Boulder Valley and Longmont Conservation Districts, alongside our partners and sponsors, hosted our 12th annual From Our Lands to Yours Hands Workshop. Nearly 20 local agencies and organizations were in attendance, providing educational opportunities for over 1,100 students from 18 schools within the St.Vrain Valley and Boulder Valley School Districts.

Students were immersed in the science of our soils, livestock veterinary care, gardening, avian species, forest management, entomology, archeology, aquatic nuisance species, and more. Students learned the importance of conserving and managing our natural lands. Local land management agencies discussed what efforts make our public lands sustainable for all to enjoy and what wildlife species may be frequenting our beloved natural spaces.
