SUMMARY:Ecological Evolution of Colorado National Monument
DESCRIPTION:In 1859\, Charles Darwin provided a great explanation of how species came to exist in their present forms. Even so\, evolution and natural selection are among the most complex of all scientific principles. As we near the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s voyage around the world (1831)\, we will look back at what he observed and said. \nWe will then use this lens to look at life in the monument today. What would Darwin say about Bighorn Sheep?  How can he help us understand about Prickly Pears and Collared Lizards? Finally\, we will look at the components of evolution Darwin didn’t (and couldn’t) understand and apply them to life in the monument. \nTim Beagley earned his PhD in Biology with an emphasis on Molecular Evolution.  He taught Molecular Biology and Microbiology to college students for 37 years. Dr. Beagley now serves as a Volunteer In the Park (VIP) for Colorado National Monument where he assists with the park education programs. \n— \nMonument on Tap\, a new series that will take the learning out of the park while supporting our local community. Monthly education series to be held on Thursdays at local breweries around town. Our 1st group of lectures will be held outdoors at Foam and Folly in downtown Grand Junction. \nPlease RSVP – Arrive at 5pm to grab a beverage\, lecture starts at 5:30pm \n

SUMMARY:CNMA and CCA National Public Lands Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Colorado National Monument Association (CNMA) and Colorado Canyons Association (CCA) will co-host a National Public Lands Day Celebration on September 23\, 2023 from 7pm-8:30pm at James M. Robb Fruita which will include light refreshments\, kid-friendly bighorn sheep activities from 7pm-7:30pm and 7:30pm-8:30pm we will have a special talk from wildlife biologist\, Joel Berger.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRocky Mountain PBS KIDS character\, Bawby\, the bighorn sheep\, will make an appearance as well! Bawby’s Adventures Coloring Book will be available for kids and families during the event. \nCCA and CNMA work hard to protect our neighboring public lands\, McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area and Colorado National Monument\, which includes a special ecosystem including the iconic desert bighorn sheep. Join us to hear more about these organizations and to celebrate our public lands and the local wildlife within it. Join CNMA and CCA at James R. Robb Park in Fruita for an evening with Joel Berger\, senior scientist and research associate for the Smithsonian Institution as well as CCA for activities in the park \n\n\n\n\n\n\n—\nJOEL BERGER grew up in Los Angeles but traded surfing for desert and mountain adventures where\, yes\, he rode dirt bikes. But gradually he was attracted to wildlife and to science\, and concentrated on animals larger than a bread box. His first studies were on bighorn sheep\, both in North America’s deserts and in British Columbia. There were also iconic species across the next few decades many lesser known but not all: African black rhinos and Tibet’s wild yaks\, Patagonia’s huemul\, and saiga deep in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert. In Alaska and the Russian Arctic\, it was muskoxen and interactions with polar bears. As of late\, he’s had joint projects in our own backyard – bison\, pronghorn\, and mountain goats. His current focus also includes desert bighorns with a concentration on prenatal stress during late gestation. Past support has been from the Guggenheim Foundation\, Smithsonian\, National Geographic\, and the National Science Foundation\, as well as state and federal agencies. His latest book is ‘Extreme Conservation – Life at the Edges of the World’. Joel is the University Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Colorado State University.\n———————————————————————————————\n\nEvent will be held at the Red Rocks Shelter/Group Picnic area\nPark entrance fee or permit is required to enter James R.
