The Committee is looking for members who are interested in getting involved with CoNPS!

E&O Committee members will have the ability to educate the public by staffing the CoNPS outreach booth at upcoming events, lead interpretive hikes, develop informational materials to be used at CoNPS events, build lesson plans to use in Colorado classrooms, and educate the public by presenting a variety of slide programs. This is a great opportunity to share information about native plants and what our Society has to offer! Please contact David Julie at bldrjardin@live.com if you would like to volunteer at an event or for further information about how you can assist the Education and Outreach Committee.
