A Night with National Geographic Explorers: Stories From the Field, Both Near and Far

Stories from around the world educate us, expose us to new cultures, tell us what makes us human and show us where we can make a difference. Join us for explorations and stories that span the globe, from the arctic to your own backyard, and topics that range from pollinator conservation to alpine botany. Proceeds help to support conservation and biodiversity research at Denver Botanic Gardens.

Light snacks will be served at 5:30 p.m. Storytelling begins at 6 p.m. and concludes at 8 p.m.

If cost is prohibitive, scholarships are available: email Alissa.iverson@botanicgardens.org.
