Critter Scene Training

Loveland Open Lands & Trails will hold educational field trip training for a program titled “The Case of the Feather Fluff Puff “ at 9 a.m.-noon Thursday, March 12, at the community room in Fire Station 2, 3070 W. 29th St.

The free training for the Critter Scene Investigation program is for any adult interested in presenting educational programs to young school children about Colorado wildlife. Students move from station to station, collecting clues for their investigation of which critter is responsible.

CSI educational volunteers help kindergarten and first grade students examine the evidence at each station and narrow down the suspects. Each volunteer will staff one animal suspect table, hosting groups of five to eight children at a time as they rotate through the stations.

Training includes experiencing all of the animal stations and covers the logistics of set-up, running the stations, and tear-down.

The training opportunity starts with a 30-minute preview, then people can stay for training if it appeals to them, with no obligation to commit to teaching at this time.

Rams Talk

James W. Hurrell, Scott Presidential Chair of Environmental Science and Engineering and professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University, will lead the talk.

There is growing concern that current international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combined with adaptation efforts, are insufficient to avoid intolerable climate change impacts over the coming decades. This has stimulated a rapidly growing interest among researchers, governments and policy analysts in understanding if the deployment of some form of Solar Climate Intervention (SCI) would help to reduce future risks from adverse climate change impacts, and provide more time for humanity to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. However, proposed SCI strategies involve significant, uncertain risks that must be understood. Hurrell will make a compelling case for why research in this area matters.
