As students are wrapping up the school year by learning at home, our Earth Stewardship Program had to adjust as well. In years past, 7th grade students from Corvallis, Lone Rock, Victor, and Darby would join us for field trips in May.
This year, to bring components of the field trip to the students, we filmed community educators who would've had stations at the field trips at Bass Creek Recreational Area.
Topics covered include
Fire Ecology with the US Forest Service
Montana Native Fish with Montana FWP (pictured above)
Physical Properties of Water
Macroinvertebrates
The videos and learning materials will be distributed to each of the four schools for their 7th graders.
This wouldn't have been possible without our community educators' support, thank you! Being able to still connect with students is so important. We hope these lessons will encourage everyone to find time to get outdoors and explore.
Some of the video material will be posted on our social media pages in the coming weeks - so be on the lookout!
Hope you're able to get out and explore this Memorial Day weekend!
Thank you for your support during Bitterroot Gives. Together we met all of our matches, raising over $12,500 from 90+ donors! Seeing our community come together to support our efforts for clean water means so much. Thank you for being a vital part of what we do.
Upcoming Events
