Flag Retirement Box Finds a Home at the Superior Community Center

Thank you to Eagle Scout Matthew Grumm for building a Flag Retirement Collection Box which is now proudly displayed and ready for use at the Superior Community Center. When an American flag becomes worn out or torn, the U.S. Flag Code outlines the etiquette for respectfully retiring that flag. The Boy Scouts in Superior (Troop 278) will take care of this process for residents who have flags that are ready for retirement.  The Town of Superior is happy to work with Eagle Scouts on their final projects. The process is administered through the volunteer program. Applicants are paired with the Superintendent of Parks and Open Space to finalize details of the project including materials, budget and timelines.

The Superior ARTery is Growing!

You can now enjoy 16 of the 20 art installations slated for the new art trail circling the new community center. These installations are part of the Superior ARTery project to launch this summer, meant to encourage walking and biking to the community center at 1500 Coalton Road. Soon, guided tours will be offered and the community will be invited to answer survey questions about their experiences along the ARTery, which will help develop future iterations around town.

Thank You Raptor Program Volunteers

The volunteers of the Superior raptor monitoring program are wrapping up another awesome season of observing birds of prey in town. This year 34 volunteers spent 250 hours watching raptors, submitting 600 reports with information about 14 different species. They located and monitored a total of ten nests of Great Horned Owls, Red-tailed Hawks, Cooper's Hawks, and American Kestrels. By late July, most of the young birds have fledged and dispersed so the monitoring program will take a break until late fall. To learn more about volunteering as a raptor monitor, contact the Open Space Advisory Committee at osac@superiorcolorado.gov Photo:Fledgling Great Horned Owls taken by Sandra Hardy Reigel.
