SUMMARY:CANCELED: Night Sky at the Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Due to cloudy skies\, SJMA has canceled tonight’s night sky event.  \nJoin SJMA for an evening of night sky wonder! Luann Andrew\, an avid and passionate amateur astronomer\, is hosting a series of night sky events at the Nature Center this year. She has been a Park Ranger at Mesa Verde National Park for the last 14 years where she has enjoyed working as a night sky ranger sharing dark skies with a myriad of visitors. Hearing people say “OH WOW! “ as they discover their Cosmos makes her truly happy! \nExactly what we will do each evening depends entirely on what the ever-changing night sky offers us that particular night. There will be a visual telescope and a deep sky “smart” telescope. If we have a moon\, we will explore that fascinating little satellite of Earth along with other targets we can see that evening. We will have a great time exploring the night sky together! \n\nWe will take a tour of the evening sky with a green laser pointer star hopping from one constellation to the next.\nIf we have clear dark skies\, we will peer as deep into the universe as we can see that night.\nWe will discuss the importance of DARK SKIES to our natural environment.\nWe will think about what ancient cultures right here on this land saw in the cosmos.\n\nWhen: Monday October 12th\, 2026 from 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm; Please arrive at 7:30 pm.  Kindly be on time. \nWhere: Meet in the parking lot of  Durango Nature Center\, 63 County Road 310\, Durango\, CO. Please back your car into its parking spot so lights will not blind telescope users later. \nWhat to Bring: \n\nRed light or headlamp – No white lights\, please. White lights ruin our night vision.\nChair\nBinoculars\nWarm clothes\, shoes\, hats\, gloves and socks.\nWater\n\nDetails: \n\nAges 6 or older\nThere is a Porta John\, but no water\, and no overhead white safety lights.\nSorry\, but DO NOT BRING DOGS!\n\nCost: Free\, $10 donation is greatly appreciated!

SUMMARY:Tree Walks and Talks: Winter’s Coming But Trees Can’t Go Inside
DESCRIPTION:Ever notice trees while you’re out and about and wish you knew more about them? Join Elli Morris\, a tree lover with a Master of Forestry and extensive training in post-disturbance forest restoration\, for SJMA’s new Tree Walks & Talks interpretive series. These wanderings will focus on site-specific trees and our relationship with them. From fire adaptations to tree architecture to internal antifreeze\, appreciating trees can make any hike more enjoyable. Come be impressed not just with tree intelligence but the role trees play in our lives – and the roles we play in theirs. \nTree Walks and Talks: Winter’s coming but trees can’t go inside!\nWould you want to stay outside all winter\, especially without a coat\, mittens\, or hat? How do trees make it in such harsh conditions? From roots to shoots\, trees get prepared for a long cold winter. Join us for a walk along the river trail to learn about natural antifreeze\, recessed stomata and much more. Meet at the Y of the river trail and the Durango Public Library for this 2-mile roundtrip hike. \nWhen: October 18 \, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nWhere: Meet behind the Durango Public Library along Animas River Trail \nWhat to Bring: \n\nWater\, snacks or lunch\nHat\, sunscreen\, weather-appropriate layers\nWalking shoes\n\nCost: Free!

She’s a member of the La Plata County Tree Study Group. Elli’s biggest intrigue with trees is learning (and sharing) the multitude of skills trees employ for thriving in their habitat. She cannot recall how many trees she’s climbed but for sure she has a photo of at least one tree from the 60 countries and territories she’s visited.
