Snowmass Village ~ Wild at Heart is being renamed & revised by summer 2027! Since the scope already covers Colorado high country in general – the new title will be Colorado High Country ~ Wild at Heart. This revision will include 25+ additional plant species, many new photos, moose & wolf descriptions, new bird species, plus a Waterbirds section and a section on Raptors in Flight. All plant scientific names, synonyms and families will be brought up to date with new DNA research according to Dr. John Kartesz’s database – an over 40 year endeavor (BONAP, bonap.org). Their goal is to provide a digital flora of North America that can be kept up to date with current research and understanding. Bird’s taxonomic order will change according to the latest DNA research and Mammal chapters will be updated with many new photos and fun facts.
Please check back for information regarding the revision – expect a new edition by summer 2027. Hope you had a great summer and are looking forward to winter activities – always exploring our incredible Colorado mountains! Feel free to email me with any questions at janis.huggins@comcast.net. Revising Wild at Heart has proven to be much more detailed and difficult than I had anticipated, but I’m working as often as I can, with a lot of help from my friends and cohorts! Being outside is the best medicine for us all, Janis
