SUMMARY:2026 Winter Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Our Rocky Mountain Winter Speaker Series returns in 2026\, with rangers\, researchers\, and historians!\n\n\n\nRocky Mountain Conservancy and Rocky Mountain National Park are excited to announce that our Winter Speaker Series is back again for 2026\, and we hope you’ll join us! \nThis year our series begins with a family-friendly presentation on cryptids (Bigfoot? Jackalopes?)\, which promises to be a lot of fun! Later talks include a look at what makes the architecture of the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center so special\, and updates on critical ecological issues facing the park. \n  \nSunday\, April 26th: From Design to Digging In – Wetland Restoration and an Introduction to the Kawuneeche Valley Restoration Collaborative (KVRC) Projects\, presented by Isabel de Silva Shewell\, ecologist\, Rocky Mountain National Park  \nThe headwaters of the Colorado River flow through Kawuneeche Valley\, once a verdant wetland until intense browsing reduced tall willow cover by 98% since 1999\, degrading habitat\, driving out beavers\, and drying most ponds. Since 2020\, the Kawuneeche Valley Restoration Collaborative (KVRC) has launched restoration initiatives—including planting willows\, installing instream beaver mimicry structures\, and excluding ungulates with fencing—to rewet floodplains and recover ecosystem functions. \n  \nEach 1-hour presentation will begin at 2:00pm in the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center Auditorium\, located at 1000 US-36 in Estes Park\, CO. \nPresentations are free and open to the public. Registration is appreciated and helps us ensure adequate seating\, but is not required. \nClick Here to register via Eventbrite! \nQuestions? Email us at education@RMConservancy.org or call 970-586-3262.
