Founded in 1882, the Colorado Scientific Society promotes knowledge, the understanding of science, and its application to human needs, focusing primarily on earth science, but welcoming members with interests in all fields of science.

The objective of the Society is to advance science through scientific communication by sponsoring lectures, field trips, investigations, and discussions of scientific matters of public concern. In addition to regular membership, we have reduced fees for corresponding (non-Denver metro area) and student (college or university) members.
