Operation Mighty Goats

Tackling weed and fire mitigation organically!

The Town is working with two goat entities to help with weed mitigation. There will be a herd of about 10 goats arriving next week to work/eat the surrounding flood buyout areas near Park St in the confluence. This herd will be in operation for 3-4 weeks. This herd is named after Disney characters. There will be another herd of 35-40 goats arriving after Labor Day and working the area west of Horizon Drive, near the playground.

Did you know goats will navigate even the most difficult terrain to consume any vegetation on wildfire-prone land?

Stage 1 Fire Ban Rescinded
Effective August 16, 2022

Stage 1 Fire Restrictions in place for unincorporated areas of western Boulder County have been rescinded. The past three weeks of monsoonal moisture have resulted in no wildland fire activity in forest; therefore, the Board of County Commissioners and the Boulder County Sheriff have determined the weather is such that fire restrictions are no longer necessary in unincorporated Boulder County.
Residents are reminded that although the fire restrictions are being rescinded, there are still permit requirements in place for slash burning and broadcast burns, also known as prescribed fires.

Free RTD Public Transit for All in August

Lyons Flyer Daily Service to/from Boulder

All RTD services will be free, including the airport buses, for the entire month of August to help reduce air pollution in a collaborative, statewide initiative designed to reduce ground-level ozone by increasing use of public transit.
No need to show your EcoPass and you can bring friends and family on RTD’s buses and trains at no cost. Get to where you want to go by transit and not have to spending time searching for parking.

And don't forget there is new daily service (Mon-Fri) to/from Boulder, twice in the morning and twice in the afternoons. The service, rebranded as the “Lyons Flyer,” will replace the Y route, formerly operated by RTD.
