About this Event

Join a guide from the Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center on a 1 hour 15 minute interpretive tour of Jack’s Solar Garden, the largest agrivoltaic research site of its kind in the nation. During this family friendly tour attendees will be introduced to agrivoltaics, the combination of solar and agriculture, and learn about its potential benefits to farmers, biodiversity and local communities. Attendees will walk among solar panels and observe different plots dedicated to agrivoltaic research. When you leave we hope you have an understanding of the benefits of agrivoltaics and become an advocate for agrivoltaic practices.

When you pay for admission your ticket donation goes to help get local students to Jack’s Solar Garden where they can learn about clean energy, local food and sustainable land-use practices. Thank you!
