Finding Common Ground: Wolves, Livestock, and People

In 2023, ten wolves were released to the Western Slope of Colorado for the first time since the species was eradicated from the state in 1940. Wolf reintroduction comes with great opportunity along with substantial challenges. To ensure the long-term success of wolf restoration, that includes for those living and working in wolf country, it is imperative we invest in on-the-ground conflict reduction strategies and focus on science-based, win-win solutions for ranchers and wolves.
The National Wildlife Federation and Working Circle are committed to finding lasting solutions for people and wildlife, and we hope you will join us for a free evening of learning and reflection with local ranchers, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and conflict reduction experts to:
~ Explore the realities of wolves and livestock on shared landscapes
~ Hear directly from a Colorado ranching family
~ Discover a better way forward for wolves, livestock, and people
Program Schedule:
5pm: Doors open, pre-reception
5:30pm – 7:30pm: Program, presentations followed by Q & A panel discussion
​7:30pm – 8:30pm: Post-reception, meet & greet

Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of a large-scale coordinated extremist movement fueling the censorship efforts.
Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale. (Kim A. Snyder, 2025, USA, 1:32, NR)

Traveling magician Mr. K (Crispin Glover) is down on his luck. Business is slow, and the few gigs he’s picked up along the road have left him adrift. After spending the night in a remote hotel, he is alarmed when he discovers that he is unable to find the exit. As he explores the maze-like corridors, he hears strange noises and encounters a series of curious inhabitants who have formed their own factions within the walls of the hotel. Alone and afraid, he starts mapping out the corridors, desperately hoping to get to the bottom of the building’s layout before it is too late. Stuck more hopelessly than ever and about to give up, he makes a bizarre discovery that will change everything. Starring the ever-eccentric Crispin Glover, this Kafkaesque mystery offers a bold new take on falling down the rabbit hole. (Tallulah Hazekamp Schwab, 2025, Netherlands, 1:36, NR)

Continuum Opening Party
2025-11-21 17:00 - 20:00 | Dairy Arts Center, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS
Celebrate the opening of the Continuum exhibition with an evening of art, music, and connection. Enjoy a live DJ set by Internaleyes, drinks, and conversation as you explore a powerful exhibition reflecting on the cycles of life, death, aging, and the enduring threads that connect us all.
A continuum is a continuous range or series where things blend seamlessly into one another — like the shifting colors of a rainbow, where no single shade ends and another begins. We often divide life into stages — youth, adulthood, old age, life, and death — as though separate from nature’s cycles. But everything moves in loops: death nourishes new life, time is both linear and infinite, and aging is only the visible surface of a more fluid human experience.
Continuum explores how art can spark connection, conversation, and community around these shared truths — the knowns and unknowns of living, dying, and everything in between. The exhibition brings together artists of different generations and disciplines to explore themes of identity, memory, selfhood, the body, grief, loss, family histories, and spirituality. At its core, Continuum is about love — love that crosses time, generations, and boundaries both real and imagined.
About the Music: Internal Eyes

Coming to fruition in the beginning of 2025, Internal Eyes is a producer, song-writer, and DJ based out of Boulder, CO. He draws inspiration from the surrounding beauty of mountainous terrain, deep blue skies, and nature’s inhabitants. Flowing water, birds, crickets, and natural instruments embody the sound of Internal Eyes, supported by deep low ends and atmospheric melodies. Originally from the East Coast, Internal Eyes has a foundational background in hip-hop and house music genres, blending the two with an organic feel to create a sound that captures attention and brings life to textural landscapes.

In an era of wildfires, drought, and species decline, Vermejo is proof that restoration is possible. And it’s a blueprint for where it can happen next.

This land, a 560,000-acre reserve in northern New Mexico that has been home to Indigenous communities, roaming bison, elk, and antelope since time immemorial, has seen civilizations rise and fall. In the 19th century, mining came, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and scarred by industry. But now, something remarkable is happening.
In 1996, media mogul Ted Turner bought this land. Working with science and nature, Vermejo’s passionate stewards helped restore the land to a place of thriving biodiversity and teeming life—from bison and wildcats to urban dwellers escaping to the outdoors.
Shot over 130+ days in this breathtaking landscape, PRESERVED unveils the hidden sanctuary and its unseen wildlife behaviors—bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic worlds thriving in water-filled potholes, and animals adapting to a changing planet. Scientists, ranchers, and leading conservationists have come together to help achieve the seemingly impossible—from North America’s largest trout restoration to the return of beaver, elk, and bison. Vermejo, deep with discovery and abundant human history, is a bellwether for what’s possible everywhere.
Year: 2024 | Filmmaker: Ben Clark | Runtime: 94 minutes
