BIrd Watching hikes

Picture
Alpine resident, Joseph Andreasen, is organizing bird watching and nature hikes. If you would like to join him on one of his outings, watch for new events being announced on our Facebook page and here. Space will be limited on the hikes, so you will need to sign up ahead of time.

First hike:
Saturday, 27 February 2021, at 8:30am. Hike will start 
at the parking lot on the north west side of the pond in Highland Glen Park. Masks are required and binoculars/camera/sketchbook will make it more enjoyable but are not required. Joe will identify birds and talk about the ecology that affects them. It’ll be a great opportunity to connect to the nature that has been there all along. The hike will be limited to 7 so please send an email to alpinenaturecenter@gmail.com or josephdandreasen@gmail.com to reserve a spot.

It's a mystery plant

Picture
#2 - We had so much fun with the first Mystery Plant contest we thought we would do it again! This new sprout is enjoying the sunlight. Do you know what plant it is? Be the first to guess the plant and win an Alpine nature T-shirt!

​And the winner is Sylvia Buck, who was the first to correctly identify this plant as the Arrowleaf Balsamroot! There was a flurry of correct guesses but the first was from Sylvia! Congratulations! For more information on this plant click here. Thanks to all that participated and congratulations Sylvia!
Picture
#1 - ​As spring is here there are more and more "sprouts" are happening in Lambert Park. Guess this mystery plant and win a Alpine Nature T-shirt! 
​
And the winner is Sheldon Wimmer! He was the first to successfully identify the new sprout as the Death Camas. For more information on this deadly plant click here. Thanks to all that guessed and congratulations Sheldon!

MILES  OF TRAILS

Picture
Ever wonder how many miles of trails are in Lambert Park? So have we! The Alpine Nature Center has made it its mission to count every mile of trail in the park using GPS mapping and walking each trail individually. We thought it might be fun to sponsor a contest to see who can most correctly estimate exactly how many miles of trails there are in the park. Click here to find out who won the contest and how many miles there are!

alpine nature Hikes

Picture
In 2018, each month, starting in April 2018 for six months, the Alpine Nature Center posted suggested nature hikes in Lambert Park that feature different flowers, trees or bushes in bloom. Hike with friends, family or by yourself as you commune with nature and learn more about the natural world around you.

​Enjoy the beauty of Alpine, find some of the many plants and flowers in Lambert Park! Find out more in our Alpine Nature Hikes section of Open Spaces.
