If you pass by the open space at the intersection of Miramonte Blvd. and Kohl St., you will surly notice the Discovery
Trail created by Dan Probert. Dan has created an outstanding Eagle Scout preoject that has enhanced and transformed this open
space area into an interpretive nature exhibit.
On Saturday, April 23, 2005, Dan led a large group of volunteers and fellow Boy Scouts to carry out the design
that he has been working on for over a year. Dan’s Boy Scout troop and many community volunteers came out to help
with the physical labor. Numerous trees were planted, cement was laid, and a 200-pound slab of Yule Marble was set at
the site. Dan has personally put nearly 150 hours of his time into this project.
Dan worked with Broomfield’s City Forester, Tom Wells, to develop a list of trees that will thrive at the site
and provide aesthetic and educational merits. Dan met with the Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee and carried
out public notice to surrounding residents before the project.
