Make the world a little greener with these environmental actions

For those who feel safe, here are some events happening in person. All locations are in Colorado unless indicated otherwise.

• 5/16 Denver – Poster Party for Colorado Public Lands Rally. In the lead-up to Saturday’s Colorado Public Lands Rally, we’re getting together to build energy, make posters, and share a drink with friends and fellow defenders of public lands. We’ll have poster-making supplies, lite fare, and one free drink ticket per person. Bring your creativity (and extra supplies if you’ve got ‘em), and let’s get fired up for the big day. When: Friday, May 16, 4-6 pm; Where: Woods Boss Brewing, 2210 California St, Denver, CO 80205. Who: The Wilderness Society staff, conservation partners, outdoor brands, friends, family, and public lands advocates.

Live music from Neighborhood Soundtrack will set the tone, blending funk, jazz and blues into a feel-good sound that’s guaranteed to get you grooving and smiling all night long.
• 5/17 Wheat Ridge – 2025 Evening Bat Conservation Event. Join our friend, Aaron Sidder from Bat Conservation International, for a bat event! Aaron will lead a discussion on the ecology of bats, where they live, what they do, and why they’re important. He’ll also bring in some tips for making your home, yard, or park more bat-friendly. While we circumnavigate on the trail, Aaron will show attendees how to identify species bats in real-time with an Echo Meter Touch Bat Detector and how to report a bat roosting site on the Colorado Bat Watch website!
• 5/17 Denver – Colorado Rally for Public Lands. Public lands are the soul of Colorado — connecting us to the land, to each other and to something far greater than ourselves. Whether you’re hiking the Colorado Trail, fly fishing along the Arkansas River, or camping with family and friends, public lands are where we find inspiration, a sense of belonging and a deeper relationship with the places we call “home.” But our cherished public lands are under attack. Politicians in D.C. are pushing efforts to sell off, privatize and undermine protections for the lands that define Colorado’s heritage and way of life. That’s why Coloradans are gathering on Saturday, May 17, from 10-11:30 am, at the Colorado State Capitol, to rally together, raise our voices, and defend the public lands that belong to all of us.
