Give a  HOOT!

Please sign this petition to create the Twin Lakes Owl Preserve - a wonderful place for people and Owls! 

Please also share this petition with your friends.

Our dream is that by creating the Owl Education Center more than 10,000 school children each year will be able to experience the majestic Twin Lakes Owls and witness the miracle of Baby Owls learning to fly.  These wonderful nature hikes will be guided  guided by teachers and students and Owl Preserve volunteers.

This spring we hope that thousands of Boulder Valley School District students will have the opportunity to get their hands dirty and help ecologists restore the twenty acre Owl Hunting Meadow to rich short grass native prairie with abundant wildflowers.

****** Background Information ********

Why is Twin Lakes considered the most important Owl habitat in Colorado?

More view peoples experience the thrill of seeing Owls at Twin Lakes than anywhere else in the state!  

According to Boulder County Parks and Open Space more than 100,000 people visits happen each year at Twin Lakes.  Folks come from all over the county and state  marvel at the miracle of being able to hear and see Colorado's most famous owls.  

• Each spring at Twin Lakes in North Boulder, a  family of Great Horned owls nest in a hollow tree.

• For decades, thousands of people have come to see to see the newly hatched baby owls emerge from their nest. Mother and father owl are never far away. It’s thrilling to see tremendous owl wingspans flying up from the Owl Hunting meadow behind their nesting tree with a delicious mouse or other meal for the young owlets.

1) Boulder County wants to bulldoze the Owl Hunting Meadow to cram in 300+ apartments.

2) Boulder Valley School District is breaking the law.  The deed for the land states that it must be used for a park or a school.

Wildlife biologists tell us that human activities can destroy owl habitat and make them less likely to survive.
(Rohner, 2001; Rudolph, 1970; Sullivan, 1995)

You can help create the new Twin Lakes Owl Open Space!

A wonderful and nurturing place for owls and people, the new 20 acre Owl Preserve and Open Space  will feature an Owl Education Center with interpretive signs and beautiful pictures explaining the owl life cycle and importance of the hunting meadow.
