Wildfire Preparations

2026 - Be Wildfire Prepared 


Recent high winds in December are a reminder that wildfire risk is not limited to summer months and that preparation is essential throughout the year. Wildfires can escalate with little notice, and having a plan in place ahead of time can make a critical difference. As we move into what feels like a year-round wildfire season, it’s important for Lyons residents to be prepared in case conditions change quickly. 

Taking steps now—such as preparing a go-bag, planning evacuation routes, and reducing wildfire risk around your property—helps ensure you can act quickly if an evacuation notice is issued. The Town’s Wildfire Evacuation Checklist outlines simple, practical actions you can take to prepare.

We encourage all residents to review the checklist and make preparations before they are needed. Being prepared helps protect you, your family, and our community. Although it can be challenging, having conversations with family members and neighbors about these plans can be helpful if you ever need to use them.

For 2026, the Board of Trustees has budgeted matching funds for Town residents to make wildfire mitigation improvements on their property, as a match toward the Boulder County Wildfire Partners Program. More details will be shared after Boulder County updates its program later this winter or early spring. Thank you for taking the time to plan ahead.
Lyons Named a Bee City USA Affiliate

Bee City News for Lyons


Lyons is buzzing with good news 🐝 We are proud to be named a Bee City USA® affiliate, joining communities nationwide working to protect pollinator habitat. From small gardens to town- wide efforts, residents can play a role in helping pollinators thrive.

Bee City USA is an initiative of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation that encourages communities to create and maintain landscapes rich in native plants and free from harmful insecticides. Pollinators — including bees, butterflies, birds, and other beneficial species — are responsible for the reproduction of nearly 90 percent of the world’s flowering plants and one out of every three bites of food we eat.

The Board’s action followed a presentation in November 2024 by Lyons resident, Tyler Stellern of Simply Bee Conservation, in partnership with the Lyons Environmental Advisory Board (EAB). Through collaboration among town leadership, staff, and community partners, Lyons completed the Bee City USA certification process in just over a year. “By becoming a Bee City, Lyons is committing to real, on-the-ground action, from pollinator-safe practices to community gardens and hands-on events,” said Mayor Hollie Rogin. “Every resident can be part of building a vibrant pollinator corridor that keeps our ecosystems strong.”

Simply Bee Conservation has worked with the EAB since November 2024 to advance pollinator-friendly practices and help shape a connected pollinator corridor throughout town. Colorado is home to more than 1,000 native bee species, many of which can only travel short distances, making neighborhood-scale habitat especially important.
No Soliciting

Reminder About Solicitation in Lyons 

No door-to-door solicitation without a permit


The Town of Lyons does not allow door-to-door solicitation without a permit. Under the Lyons Municipal Code, no person may engage in solicitation within the Town without first obtaining a solicitation permit, with the exception of school-sponsored fundraising activities, which do not require a permit.

Residents also have the right to post a sign on their property indicating they do not wish to be disturbed by door-to-door sales. Signs stating “No Trespassing,” “No Solicitors,” or a similar message clearly indicate that door-to-door sales are not authorized and must be respected. Residents may ask any solicitor to show their permit upon request. Thank you for helping keep our community informed and this info respected.

Glass Recycling

Great job with the Glass Recycling 


Lyons, did you know that by using the glass recycling dumpster for glass only, together you have diverted a combined 31 US Tons of glass. The glass from the Lyons Recycling Center goes to a sustainable glass packaging company in Windsor, CO to be returned as a bottle on the shelf in as little as 30 days. 

This collaboration with the Town of Lyons provides a unique opportunity to create a more circular economy for glass recycling, as O-I and Anheuser-Busch each maintain local operations.  According to  Danielle Brickner, Sustainability Collaboration Specialist at Owens--International. "We are excited to partner with the Town of Lyons as we continue to drive waste reduction, material conservation, energy reduction and job creation. The glass recycled through the program will be processed at O-I's Glass to Glass facility and made into new sustainable glass packaging at the company's Windsor facility in as little as 30 days.”  Thank you Lyons!
