Earth Science Lecture Series
Do you want to learn about the natural history of our amazing National Conservation Areas and surrounding landscapes? Do you want to know how the arches, rivers, cliffs, and fossils came to be where they are and what they represent? You're in luck! We're partnering with the Museums of Western Colorado and scientists from all across the country to bring their research and expertise to you right here in the Grand Valley.
