Mike Higgins has been with the PWV since 2019. He recently retired from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and has studied invertebrate communities in streams and wetlands for over 25 years. He gave an interesting presentation on the identification and ecology of stream macroinvertebrates. He identified several of the “bugs” that we see near rivers and streams. He also explained how these invertebrates help keep streams healthy. Please review Mike’s Zoom presentation dated July 12, 2023.

For the third consecutive year, PWV has been selected as the outdoor focused nonprofit to receive a donation from Oboz Footwear and Brown’s Shoe Fit, as part of the Fort Collins Oboz Trail Experience. This month-long event, occurring this September, is encouraging hikers, runners and walkers to complete as many of the Front Range's selected trails as one can during the month. Unlock rewards by completing any of the 22 Promoted Trails and everyone who completes even just one trail will be entered to win one of five pairs of Oboz shoes at the end of the Experience. The more trails you complete, the more entries you'll receive.
As part of the program, Oboz has designed a “team category”. While your results are tracked individually, you can join the PWV team by clicking on PWV during registration. Having such a team will allow us to reach out to one another and hike together.
This is a wonderful community event and we are honored to be part of it. All the businesses supporting this event have commented on the uniqueness of the approach. So, sign up by going to this registration link.
