This webinar will prepare community scientists and agency biologists to participate in the Montana and Mountain States (Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming) Bumble Bee Atlas Project. This webinar is welcome to everyone, without any prior experience.
Dive into the captivating world of biodiversity in our upcoming workshop, where we will explore the profound implications of ecological diversity and its relation to landscape function. This class will explain the interconnectedness of all living beings and the critical role that each species plays in maintaining the health and function of ecosystems from the soil up. We aim to help you gain a deeper understanding of how biodiversity shapes our world and why it is essential for the health and sustainability of our planet.
If you have extra “volunteer” plants in your yard that have not been treated with pesticides, dig them up, put them in a pot, and bring them to our plant exchange! You might see something you like from someone else’s garden. If so, it’s yours—for free! If you don’t have any plants to give, come take some anyway. We’ll have plenty!
Come take a sensory walk through the Elk Run Farm forest garden with our community herbalist, Sabrina Tran, and meet some foods and medicines this land has to offer. Together, we’ll learn about plant personalities and their expressions.
This workshop will introduce ‘Wilding’ as a system-based approach to novel apiculture and conservation practices. Through hands-on activities as well as observation and discussion, we will explore the parameters of the natural nesting habit of honeybees, the role of biomimicry in nest design, and the relevance of non-human birthrights.
Are you interested in learning about the abundant insect life that surrounds you, and what it can show us about ecosystem health? Our insect biodiversity research is hands-on, accessible, and grounded in basic bug knowledge (no need to be an entomologist!)
All, including beginning birders, are invited to experience the fun and discovery of bird watching at the Greenlee Wildlife Preserve on the first Sunday of each month year-round. Knowledgeable bird watchers will be on hand with binoculars, spotting scopes, and learning tools to assist in the fun activity of identifying birds in their natural habitats.
Ben will discuss the history and biology of this world-changing species; how beavers can help us fight drought, flooding, wildfire, and climate change; and how we can coexist with this challenging but vital rodent (the beaver!).
Using games and activities, we will learn how to use our senses to find the stories of the plants and animals living at Mud Lake Open Space. Find animal signs, identify the many trees, and explore the amazing diversity of plants and animals. How many will you find? This program is geared toward children ages 6-8, but all are welcome.
The Mountain States Bumble Bee Atlas is a collaborative effort to track and conserve the bumble bees of Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. This in-person workshop will give you the knowledge, skills, confidence, and enthusiasm to become a bumble bee atlas volunteer!
