Spring 2026 Edition

From the Editor

The big topic this year will likely be the unusually dry and warm winter much of Colorado has experienced. Whether the state will officially enter a drought remains to be seen — only time will tell.

As is tradition, the spring issue focuses on the outdoor aspects of conservation. Several articles explore landscapes, plants, and practical ways to make green spaces and gardens more sustainable. Both Garden In A Box and Plant Select® continue to offer native and climate-adapted plant options tailored for Colorado landscapes.
