First created in 2004 and updated in 2022, this documentary shines a light on the unique challenges and rich diversity within the LGBTQ+ community, particularly around aging and accessing care. It’s a moving and important story that invites all of us to listen, learn, and reflect. We hope you’ll join us for this special screening.

Pika are tiny, vocal mammals living high in the Rocky Mountains. They’re not only adorable — they’re also at the center of a fascinating scientific mystery! Join us for an engaging talk about the American pika and some surprising research happening right in our backyard at Rocky Mountain National Park. Scientists have discovered a zone near Mt. Chapin where two subspecies of pika overlap and are actually producing hybrid offspring — and they can tell the difference by their calls! Researchers are using genetic analysis and recordings of their unique voices to track how this hybrid zone has shifted over time and what it means for the future of these remarkable little animals. With climate change impacting pika habitat, understanding how these subspecies are adapting and interacting has never been more important. Come learn what the pikas of Rocky Mountain National Park are telling us — one tiny squeak at a time!

Our Community Coyotes: Sharing the Neighborhood
Speaker: Mark Surls, Colorado & Northern Rockies Coordinator, Project Coyote, https://projectcoyote.org/
This fascinating community presentation pulls back the curtain on one of our most misunderstood neighbors. Learn how coyotes communicate, raise their families, stake out their territory, and adapt their behavior through the seasons.
We’ll also bust a few common myths and dig into the vital role coyotes play in keeping our local ecosystem in balance. And the practical stuff? We’ve got that covered too — you’ll walk away with real, science-backed tips for keeping your pets, and livestock coexisting with the coyotes in our backyard. Come in curious, leave with a whole new appreciation for the wild side of our community.
Mark Surls is the Colorado & Northern Rockies Coordinator for Project Coyote, where he works on wildlife policy, coexistence education, and carnivore conservation. Mark is also a wildlife photographer and the author of Coyote Conversations.
