Wildlands Restoration Volunteers does what its name implies -- they organize groups of volunteers…read moreto do ecological restoration on wild public lands. I've volunteered with WRV for 5 of its 10 years and can honestly say that they have figured-out the magic recipe for providing a truly rewarding volunteer experience, whether it's as simple as a morning spent pulling an invasive weed in Boulder or as intense as a multi-day, high-altitude alpine project where the mission is to repair erosion damage along steep sections of trail. Plus (fellow Yelpers ought to like this), WRV tends to feed its volunteers well on projects. My motto is 'will work for food,' and I'm right at home with WRV.

Great way to help the native flora. We collected seeds from many different wild plants in many…read morelocations within an hours drive. The seeds will be later collected by rubbing the seed heads on screens, so I hear. Then, they will be used to replant native plants in restoration areas. The COVID-19 virus happened during their normal seed cleaning period so I hope they can catch up when all this is done. You either carpool or drive yourself to the location where the seeds have been pre-scouted, then wander and stoop to pluck the seed heads. WRV offers snacks like granola bars, cheese sticks, fruit and soda/sparkling water with essences. The typical time out of your day might be 4 hours... 9-1 usually, plus short nature hikes with expert guides, and they also offer full day and camping/working trips. They are organized through Boulder County (I forgot the last part of the name) on St. Vrain Rd. You can get more information off the web by looking for Wildlands Resources Volunteers. You can subscribe to them and you'll get lists of types of help needed, dates and times and can register from there. Many of the volunteers have worked with them for many, many years. Registration may be limited so sign up as fast as you can and there is a waiting list so if you can't make it, let them know.

The store is a little hard to find the first time - it's off 47th St. just north of the intersection with the Diagonal Highway, just east of Foothills Parkway. Plenty of parking.

Four of us went to The Wild Animal Sanctuary recently, and it was such a cool experience. Getting…read morein was quick and there was plenty of parking, which already made the visit feel easy. Before heading out onto the walkway, there's a large tent with food and a space where you can watch a short video explaining the sanctuary's mission and the work they do. I appreciated having that background because it made the whole experience feel more meaningful once we were out there. It was also nice that you can grab food and bring it out with you. Obviously you cannot feed the animals, but you can enjoy your own food and bring a water bottle while you walk. I grabbed a slice of pizza on the way out and appreciated that flexibility. The volunteers were genuinely kind and clearly passionate about being there. The facility itself is huge, you walk along a long elevated walkway that stretches over the habitats, which gives you a really unique vantage point. We had beautiful weather and great visibility, so we were lucky to see a lot. Some animals were lounging, some sleeping, and others were playing around. I liked how each enclosure felt thoughtfully set up and spacious, you could tell they are trying to give the animals an environment that suits them. If you are an animal lover, it is absolutely worth checking out. I do think it can feel a little expensive without a membership, but when you see the scale of the property and understand the work they are doing, it makes more sense. Overall, it was a really special way to spend the day.

We try to come early January so we can see the eagles when they come through. We missed that window so there were only a few that we saw this time.

The walk was breezy with a slight chill, but the day was lovely otherwise. Always a positive experience.
