SPECIAL SCREENING | 1H 34M | PG | 2025

JUNE 19 & 23

Preserved unveils Vermejo—a 558,000-acre living laboratory where rarely seen wildlife behaviors unfold: bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic life thriving in seasonal potholes, and animals adapting to a rapidly changing world. In this feature-length documentary, scientists, ranchers, and conservationists reveal how the seemingly impossible has been achieved here, from North America’s largest native trout restoration to the return of beaver, elk, and bison. Rich in discovery and layered with human history, Vermejo stands as the pinnacle of conservation in the U.S.—and a bellwether for what’s possible elsewhere.

Friday, June 19 @7pm doors open @6pm FILM ONLY

Tuesday, June 23 @6pm, doors open at 5:30, guest speaker Ben Clark will have a discussion and Q & A

Before the movie-Guest Speaker Ben Clark will do an audience Q&A.

A little about our guest: 

Director Ben Clark is a seasoned explorer and adventure filmmaker dedicated to stories of human resilience and environmental stewardship. His latest feature documentary, Preserved, offers a hopeful look at ecosystem restoration at the landscape level, focusing on a 558,000-acre expanse in Northern New Mexico. The film is currently screening across the country, so far in more than 50 markets with more than 55 featured nonprofits.

Classes are every Wednesday at 1:15 pm in the Pagosa Senior Center. This activity is open to all ages. Mindful Drawing is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Join our friendly instructor Roberta Strickland, CZT.

Help us create an intergenerational community. For those under 18 and/or with disabilities you are welcome to join us, but we kindly ask you to please bring an adult chaperone with you.

The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado has announced the four local nonprofits selected to benefit from this summer’s 11th annual 19th Hole Concert Series at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club—and we’re excited to share that Pagosa Community Initiative (PCI) is one of them!

Held each Thursday evening in June from 5:30–7:30 PM, the 19th Hole Concerts bring together live local music, community connection, and meaningful fundraising. A $10 donation at the door supports all four participating nonprofits, with corporate sponsors covering event costs so that proceeds can be distributed equally. Last year alone, each organization received $2,500 through this collaborative effort.

This year’s featured nonprofits include:

• Aspire Medical Services and Education
• Pagosa Community Initiative
• Upper San Juan Watershed Enhancement Partnership
• Wings Early Childhood Center

Each organization addresses a unique and vital need within our community—from early childhood education and family support to environmental stewardship and youth programming.

At PCI, funding from the concert series will directly support expanding access to scholarships for youth to attend our summer camps. This ensures that financial barriers do not prevent children from accessing safe, enriching, and trauma-informed programming during the summer months.

2026 Concert Lineup:

• June 4: Wings Early Childhood Center – Bob Hemenger (Dixieland, jazz, blues, soul, pop)
• June 11: Upper San Juan Watershed Enhancement Partnership – Jackson Mountain Ramblers (country, folk, pop)
• June 18: Pagosa Community Initiative – Outlaw Firm (country, blues, folk-rock, TexAmericana)
• June 25: Aspire Medical Services and Education – Bo DePeña (Americana, country)

These concerts are more than just a fun evening out—they are a powerful example of community coming together to support local organizations and the families they serve. We hope to see you there on June 18 as we celebrate PCI and the incredible work happening across Archuleta County!

An immersive 4-hour watercolor class focused on building confidence through foundational techniques

SUNDAY, JUNE 28 | 1-5 PM
Hosted at Higher Grounds Coffee
Pagosa Springs, CO

Step beyond loose florals and into a deeper, more confident watercolor practice.

This extended workshop is designed for those who are ready to slow down and truly understand the foundations of watercolor. Together, we’ll move beyond simply following steps and begin building the skills that allow you to paint with intention, freedom, and confidence.

You’ll learn how to see florals and botanicals differently—breaking them down into simple shapes, understanding how watercolor behaves, and gaining control over your brush, color theory, and composition.

Whether you’ve taken a previous class or are simply ready to grow, this experience will give you the tools to continue painting long after the workshop ends.

What You’ll Learn:

• Foundational watercolor techniques (water control, layering, brushwork)
• Color mixing and simple color theory for natural, cohesive palettes
• How to sketch and simplify florals and botanicals
• An introduction to line & wash techniques
• How to create depth, movement, and softness in your paintings

What’s Included:

• Guided, step-by-step instruction + deeper teaching throughout
• Hands-on practice with personal support and feedback
• All supplies provided
• Multiple practice pieces + a finished botanical painting
• A take-home reference guide to continue your learning

Coffee, ice cream, and brunch will be available for purchase from Higher Grounds during the event. You’re welcome to arrive early, settle in, and make an afternoon of it.

Seats are limited to 15 participants to allow for a slower pace and more personalized instruction.

Investment: $125

Attending two sessions?
Add each workshop to your cart and apply code BOTH10 at checkout to receive $10 off when you register for both evenings.

Refund Policy

All ticket purchases are non-refundable. If you’re unable to attend, you may transfer your seat to a friend.

This program is offered once a month to coincide with the full moon and provide a unique backdrop in this International Dark Sky Park with a sky unhindered by lights of modern-day civilization. Thus, check-in times will vary in accordance with the rise time of the moon.

About an hour before moonrise, visitors will be treated to an informative lecture on topics specific to the Chimney Rock site — ancestral Puebloan culture, archeoastronomy theories, area geology, etc. Then – as the full moon begins to rise – a single flute note follows another and another as you become slowly embraced by the music of Charles Martinez. You’ll be torn between looking west to see the spectacular sunset or focusing on the eastern mountain range to see the first sliver of moon.

Special Note:

Visitors are offered the option to take an early, guided tour of the Mesa Village Trail before the Full Moon program. This Early Tour/Full Moon Package is $30.00 and is available through the Recreation.gov website or the call center (877-444-6777) under the title Early Tour/Full Moon Package. Check-in times are listed in the Early Tour/Full Moon Package description.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

The entire program lasts approximately three hours including check-in, driving to the mesa top (2.5 miles up a winding dirt road with 20-mph speed limit – allow 15 minutes each way) and hiking the Great House Trail. At the end of the trail, visitors will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from atop the mesa ridge. They will also be afforded the closest view possible of the two pinnacles: Chimney Rock and Companion Rock. Please keep in mind that the lecture before the moonrise is approximately 30 minutes in length, and the hike back down the high mesa occurs after dark.

The hike up to the Chacoan Great House Pueblo may be difficult for some due to the steep gradient, uneven footing, and elevation ending at 7600 feet. The elevation gain is 200 feet. Participants should be in reasonable physical condition and willing to hike mostly uphill for 1/3 mile (and return steeply downhill). This program is not suitable for children under 8, and parents are asked to closely supervise their attending children for the safety of all attendees. Water, flashlights, and a blanket or mat for ground seating (no chairs) are recommended.

TICKETS

Check-in is at the Highway 151 entrance gate at the time stated below for each program. Please adhere to the check-in timeline. The gate will be promptly locked at the end of that time. Tickets are $20.00 per person. Making a reservation through the Recreation.gov website or the call center (877-444-6777) is the only way to guarantee a spot for this program.  This program often sells out; reservations are strongly recommended. Recreation.gov charges a $1.00 reservation fee that is non-refundable. Reservations will be cut off 12 hours prior to the start of the program.  Walk-ins will be accommodated if space is available. They will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and must arrive during the specified check-in time frame. Program tickets can be purchased directly from the Gift Shop.  No refunds will be issued for no-shows.

Saturday, May 30: Check-in:  6:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Program:   7:45 p.m. Moonrise:  8:40 p.m.

Sunday, June 28: Check-in:  6:15 p.m. – 6:45 p.m. Program:   7:20 p.m. Moonrise:  8:20 p.m.
