The City of Boulder invites community members to share ideas for what stories should be told and interpreted along a planned “healing trail” for the Fort Chambers / Poor Farm site. The area is one of the city’s most historically significant open space areas and has a local community connection to the Sand Creek Massacre.
Community input will guide the design of an “interpretative experience” for the healing trail, a place for education, reflection, healing, gathering and native plantings. Community members can share their ideas and perspectives for what should be interpreted along the healing trail through:
- A community workshop that will be facilitated by Ernest House Jr., director of the Center for Tribal and Indigenous Engagement at the Keystone Policy Center. It will be held from 3 to 5 p.m., Friday, March 21, at Boulder Council Chambers, 1777 Broadway.
- An online submission form that will accept ideas and stories for the healing trail through Sunday, March 30.
Learn more about this project and this unique land. Following this engagement phase, all input will be compiled and presented in future conversations to help shape the creative vision for the Fort Chambers / Poor Farm property’s Healing Trail..
