Colorado is home to 15 species of “wild chickens” . . . or, stated more scientifically, birds in the family Galliformes! And, increasingly, people are raising chickens in their backyards for the eggs and to better understand how food gets to our tables! JAX and Lafayette Open Space offer you the opportunity to learn about all of these wild chickens of Colorado AND how to raise domestic chickens in your own backyard!
This program is for anyone, especially for families who’d like to consider raising chickens. We’ll start with a short slide show to familiarize ourselves with all those wild chickens, including grouse, quail, turkeys and even Chukars (yes, Chukars!). Then we’ll see JAX’s chicks and learn about all the in’s and out’s of raising your own chickens. This event will be held at JAX Lafayette Farm and Ranch at 400 W South Boulder Road.
Space is limited for this special, hands-on program and RSVPs are required. For more information or to RSVP, contact Martin Ogle at MartinOgle@hotmail.com.

This growing list highlights businesses that are making their operations, services, and products increasingly sustainable, and who are committed to engaging with students and schools through conversations, classroom visits, field trips, and internships.
Starting and ending at Treehouse Learning in Lafayette, CO, this walk invited participants to experience a new perspective on humanity through the lens of the natural world. Along the path, we explored insights inspired by plants, reflected on the Rockies rising in the distance, and appreciated the charm of the preschool building that hosted our gathering—making for a rich and memorable journey.
