JOIN US IN 2024 AT THE FAMILY FORESTRY EXPO, ENJOY A WALK IN THE WOODS AND LEARN ABOUT YOUR FORESTS IN NORTHWEST MONTANA

We’re planning our traditional in-person event for May 6-10, 2024 for the 5th grade class experience, and Saturday, May 11, 2024 for families.

Activity Stations

backcountry-campActivity stations are set up and structured to enhance your knowledge of the forest surrounding you.

They provide a variety of topics to take with you when you go into the forest to help understand and look for the animals and plants that live there. The stations also provide a brief history of the forest development and how humans have used and changed the forest environment.

The weekday program includes a wide range of topics including: archeology, fisheries, plant identification, forest management, wildlife, riparian areas, low impact camping for all users, hikers, bikers and horse riders, forest fires and a logging mill tour.

The weekend program includes all of the activity stations along with a wide range of demonstrations and hands on activities to fill the entire day.
