From researching pollinators to removing invasive species, CARES students spent the year making meaningful contributions to conservation while building valuable STEM skills. As we celebrate another successful season, we’re also excited to announce a new Summer CARES opportunity focused on noxious weed education and management, made possible through support from the Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund. Read on to learn how students are making a difference and how local high schoolers can get involved this summer.
This year marked a milestone for our Audubon Naturalist in the Schools (ANTS) program, with a record 74 classrooms participating across south-central Montana. Through 19–21 hours of hands-on learning, students connected with local ecosystems, wildlife, and Montana’s natural heritage. Thanks to our partnership with the Bureau of Land Management, many students were also able to explore and learn on nearby public lands. We are grateful to the Fortin Foundation, Indian Education for All, the Harry L. Willett Foundation, Yellowstone River Parks Association, and our BLM partners for helping make these experiences possible.
Do you want to learn about the conservation of bumble bees and contribute to a community science project?
On June 6, join Michelle Toshack from the Montana Bumble Bee Atlas to learn and practice Atlas protocols. Anyone with an interest in bees and a desire to help them in a hands-on way is encouraged to attend — no prior experience needed!
The first part of the day will be spent indoors at the Montana Audubon Center. You will learn about bumble bee ecology, life cycle, and conservation issues, as well as an overview of how to participate in the Bumble Bee Atlas.
We’ll then head outside for lunch and some hands-on practice catching, photographing, and releasing bumble bees. Xerces will provide all project equipment (nets, vials, ice) to use during the training. Please bring your own camera (cell phone cameras work!).
Come prepared for the day with lunch, snacks, water, walking shoes, sun protection, and note-taking materials.
Registration is limited! Register here.
You will receive an email with more information one week before the event. Questions? Contact Michelle at [email protected]
