Dinosaur Ridge (a member of the Golden Cultural Alliance) offers a FREE series of classes about dinosaurs. They’re great for people who are interested in volunteering at Dinosaur Ridge, but you’re also welcome to attend if you’re just interested in learning more about dinosaurs! You have several opportunities to take these classes, including both a once-a-week fast track or a once-a-month slow track.
The first class is this morning at 10AM. If 4 or more people request it, the instructor is willing to repeat it Friday morning at 10. Here’s the full schedule of classes.
