Three local environmental groups are again teaming up to present a speaker series focused on public lands and wildlife conservation. The schedule for 2018 is out.

 

Naturalist Nights is a series presented by the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, Wilderness Workshop and the Roaring Fork Audubon Society. The 2018 lineup includes regional experts in sustainability, climate change and wildlife conservation.

Jim Kravitz is director of naturalist programs at ACES. He said attendees can expect to learn — and be motivated to act.

 

“They will hopefully make some decisions to kind of keep the wild, wild and conserve the great things we have here,” he said.

The series starts in January and runs through March.

 

Aspen native Elizabeth Stewart-Severy is excited to be making a return to both the Red Brick, where she attended kindergarten, and the field of journalism. She has spent her entire life playing in the mountains and rivers around Aspen, and is thrilled to be reporting about all things environmental in this special place. She attended the University of Colorado with a Boettcher Scholarship, and graduated as the top student from the School of Journalism in 2006. Her lifelong love of hockey lead to a stint working for the Colorado Avalanche, and she still plays in local leagues and coaches the Aspen Junior Hockey U-19 girls.
