No Impact Experiment – April – Water
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Fourmile Canyon Fire Restoration – Volunteers Needed
Friday, March 11th, 2011
A multi-agency team, led by Boulder County Parks and Open Space, has developed a restoration plan for the Fourmile Canyon Fire area. Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV) and Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) will team up to coordinate several full day volunteer events. Dates open to the public are listed below, and other projects will be added as requested by groups.
Volunteers will plant native grass seeds on over 500 acres to resist the invasion of weeds and reduce the threat of erosion. Volunteers may also apply straw mulch and construct sand-bag barriers in flood-prone areas.

Community Solar Gardens, A Panel to Learn More
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Solar panels are appearing on more and more roofs. But what about people who rent, live in a condominium, have shaded roofs, who might move or live in a historic district or home owners association? This is the majority of Americans! In several states, people can own solar panels in a common array called a solar garden, supplying their homes through the existing power grid.
The Solar Gardens Institute is helping organize communities to pool their resources and go solar. Libraries and schools, places of worship and non-profit groups can benefit by hosting a distributed power plant where anyone can own solar panels.
On Monday, March 7, the Sierra Club hosted a well-attended panel in Boulder, featuring Rep. Clare Levy (D-Boulder), Greg Ching, Chief Sustainability Officer of the Solar Gardens Institute (pictured), Paula Connelly of XCEL Energy, and others.
Lots of people learned more about community solar – and there are more events to come.
