Field Trips

For the most current activities, see our Facebook page.

In March 2025, we partnered with the Montana Audubon Center in Billings to hold a Native Plant Symposium, called From Seeds to Science: Connecting Native Plants, Citizen Science and Stewardship.  We’re trying to empower individuals to take meaningful conservation action, whether by enhancing personal spaces with native plants or contributing to citizen science initiatives.  We had a full house of 50 participants, and 30 people took part in workshops.

For 2026, we’re considering holding the symposium at a larger venue and shifting the event to August to allow for more hands-on field workshops.
