Cultural Events Calendar

Forests across the Rocky Mountains are changing, and our valley is no different. Pushed by multiple stressors tree species that once dominated the landscape are receding, sometimes replaced by different tree species, and other times shifting to entirely different ecosystem types. Join ACES Forest and Climate Program Director Adam McCurdy to explore the Lake Christine burn area and learn more about local forest conditions and future outlook.

This class requires advance registration to ensure appropriate planning for the field experience.

Meeting location and logistics will be sent out to registered participants.

Join ACES for an unforgettable evening high above Aspen, where the night sky takes center stage. Stars Above Aspen invites guests of all ages to explore the wonders of the cosmos from 11,212 feet. As the sun sets over the Elk Mountains, attendees get ready for a night of discovery—where science, nature, and a sense of awe come together under the stars! Begin the evening with sunset yoga, then stay as the sky darkens and constellations come into view, guided by experts and educators who will bring the wonder of the night sky to light.
