Todd Olander will be the speaker on February 18. When you’re enjoying a beer at your favorite local craft brewery, there’s a good chance the barley that went into your cold one was grown by Todd’s business, RootShoot Malting, right here in the Berthoud area. Todd will speak about his business, his love for farming, and how he works to preserve the farmland that has made Berthoud “the Garden Spot.”  This event is to be held at the Berthoud Community Library, 236 Welch Avenue, Berthoud @ 7p.m.

On March 18, Environmental Historian, Dr. Karen Lloyd-D'Onofrio, will talk about our own backyard, Rocky Mountain National Park, its cultural history dating back more than 12,000 years, and efforts to conserve the park. Come learn something new to look for on your next visit to RMNP! This event is to be held at the Berthoud Community Recreation Center, 1000 Berthoud Parkway, Berthoud @ 7p.m.
