Native shrubs and perennials are a vital component of healthy streams and lakes. They help prevent erosion, filter pollution from runoff, and provide food and shelter for wildlife. MountainTrue staff and volunteers spend significant time and resources removing nonnative invasive plants along streams and lake shorelines to protect water quality and ensure that the native vegetation stays healthy.

Plants that are found here inspire a “sense of place” and pride in our mountain communities and promote wise stewardship and conservation of natural resources.

Seeing Impressionism Clearly: Camille Pissarro and The Honest Eye.

Step into the origins of Impressionism through the work of Camille Pissarro—often called the first Impressionist. Born in St. Thomas to French Jewish parents and shaped by experiences across South America and Paris, Pissarro brought a uniquely global and human perspective to modern painting. On this Artful Journey to the Denver Art Museum, we’ll explore how his background informed his luminous landscapes, intimate city scenes, still lifes, and portrayals of everyday life, revealing Impressionism not as a fleeting style, but as a deeply thoughtful way of seeing the world.

Wendy Eisenberg

Wendy Eisenberg has spent the past decade as a fixture of independent music and an artist of inspired multiplicity. As a singer-songwriter, improviser, and virtuoso guitarist, the coordinates of their artistry are ever-shifting, from art-rock to jazz to blistering free improv and eloquent folk. On catalog highlights including 2020’s 'Auto' and the 2024 free-jazz sprawler 'Viewfinder', they’ve made a signature of ambition.

As Eisenberg told fellow guitarist Nick Millevoi in an interview for Premier Guitar in 2021, “I need to be in a punk band at the same time as I need to be playing free improv at the same time as I need to be playing songs. All at the same time—otherwise none of the practices will work for me.” Their musical range isn’t a glib manifestation of eclecticism, but a genuine artistic essence
