Volunteer with BOSAN
Planting native species and caring for open spaces is one of the best ways to restore/maintain habitats that support wild birds. The Broomfield Open Space Action Network (BOSAN) welcomes volunteers to help plant native species, remove noxious weeds, and harvest seeds at Broomfield Commons Open Space. BOSAN also hosts BioBlitz events to investigate and record the many living things at Broomfield Commons and The Field. All events are FREE and open to all ages; registration is requested. Learn more about BOSAN events and register here.
