AN otherworldly but somewhat unconvincing monolith has appeared in a quiet village, much to the delight of a curious dancing ape. Earlier this week a mysterious ‘metal’ pillar covered by a sheet popped up in a field in Weeley, piquing the curiosity of residents and social media users. This morning, coincidentally on April Fool’s Day, the tall structure was unveiled as a sci-fi monolith, which has since attracted an animated monkey man. Located on a footpath near the Rainbow Nursery, the pillar has apparently landed on Earth in aid of the Save The Children charity and a collection bucket is positioned nearby.

If you travel along Highway 287 north of Lafayette, between Lookout Road and Highway 52, you’ll see the old Rainbow Nursery and Tree Farm. It is 40 acres of agricultural land that includes two wetlands. It’s also recognized as “agricultural land of national significance” by national, state and local governments. In 1994, Boulder County used Open Space tax money to purchase a Conservation Easement and First Right of Refusal from the owners of the nursery for $169,625. The purchase was presented to the taxpayers as a way to protect for perpetuity these 40 acres as open space for us to enjoy.
