The Birds and the Bees at the Library

Curious about what keeps our food supply bountiful? Join Boulder County Parks and Open Space at the Library for The Inside Story of Pollination, a program about pollinators, on Saturday, May 16 from 2 to 3:30 pm. While honeybees get the spotlight, beetles, butterflies, moths, wind, and even water all help keep ecosystems healthy. This family-friendly slideshow explains how these partnerships support the plants we rely on every day, and what you can do to help. Register at bit.ly/LibAdults or call 303-651-8472.

Toss Your Caps, Not Your Balloons

Longmont’s newest graduates will soon move up in the world , but don’t let the celebrations move up into the power lines! When mylar balloons sail into the skies, their metallic surface can cause short circuit faults and power outages when they get tangled in the lines. So hang on to them tight, deflate them when you’re done, and remember, if anything gets caught in the lines – such a balloon, a kite, or a drone – don’t try to retrieve it yourself. Stay safe, and call Longmont Power & Communications at 303-651-8386.
