New Wetland Naturalist Course
Sacajawea Audubon Society (SAS) is developing a new naturalist course with a focus on wetlands, covering various aspects of wetland ecology and environmental science, tailored to Montana’s unique landscapes and ecological characteristics. Each class will be structured to ideally combine theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on activities or field observations. Each topic will have a subject matter expert drawn from Montana State University, Society of Wetland Scientists, and local specialists.
The approach is a curriculum that focuses on the natural science aspects of wetlands with a concentration on the understanding of wetland ecology, hydrology, soils, plants, and wildlife. The course covers topics that will provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex ecological interactions that occur within these ecosystems with an emphasis on scientific observation, analysis, and interpretation, integrating field trips and hands-on activities.
The wetlands course will be held in June and July. Please go to https://bozemanwetlands.org for additional information and to register.
