Be a Volunteer Naturalist

Explore a Larimer County park or open space.

Join us for a scheduled program or take some time to explore on your own. The Department of Natural Resources offers a variety of educational programs such as guided hikes, school field trips, community trips and more! Or, schedule a time to bring your group to a property for your own programming. Programs are free or low cost but do require registration. To register, please create a free account in Offero (name, email and phone number are all that is required).

For questions, contact Angela Borland, Education and Volunteer Supervisor, at aborland@larimer.org or (970) 619-4489.

Ask a Naturalist

Have you ever wondered about a plant, animal, geologic formation or the cultural history at a Larimer County Open Space or Park? Send your question to us and our team of staff and volunteer naturalists will work to find an answer and share our natural history knowledge with you.
