Preschools partner with Parks on Urban Forest Strategic Plan 

Boulder's youngest residents studied trees this school year in order to provide recommendations to the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department's Urban Forest Strategic plan.  Preschoolers from Boulder County Head Start and infants through preschoolers from Boulder Journey School learned about, observed, and interacted with local trees.  Our under 5 population and their teachers shared their ideas through an in-depth exploration of trees via the poster (below) displayed at a March 2017 public event.  Please visit the City's website for more information on the project.
*Growing Up Boulder (GUB) is a child-friendly city initiative and partnership between the City of Boulder, Boulder Valley School District, the University of Colorado's Community Engagement Design and Research (CEDaR) Center.  It is run under the fiscal sponsorship of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center (CNDC).  GUB's programs have been including young people in city decision-making for more than 12 years.
