Katie Richter, Region 4 Education Technician, is putting on a program all about Montana's wild cat and dog species!
Did you know that we have wild relatives of the pet cats and dogs you have in your homes? Come and learn about the behavior and tracks of wolves, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions, bobcats and more.
Katie will bring hides and skulls of multiple species that you can touch and explore. There will be plenty of time to check out the hides and read books about wild cats and dogs after the main program. The kids will also be doing a craft after the presentation.

We are excited to continue our Junior Ranger program with a program about Ancient Rock Art Painting. Rey Davis, the Education Specialist for Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, will be our special guest presenter.
Junior Rangers will make their own paint and have the opportunity to paint "rock ar"¿ on construction paper. If you would like, your junior ranger could bring a small rock to make paintings on as well.

Join First Peoples Buffalo Jump AmeriCorps Member Alysa and Montana Office of Public Instruction Indian Education Specialist Mike Jetty for a program all about tipis. Junior rangers will learn why the markings and symbols painted on a tipi were so meaningful and how they shared stories about family, identity, and the natural world.
Each tribal nation has its own unique cultural traditions regarding tipi designs and some tribes like the Crow traditionally don¿t paint their lodges. Kids will get to design and create their own miniature tipi, using traditional shapes and imagining their own meaningful symbols. To finish, we¿ll work together to raise a real tipi and discover how its structure, materials, and engineering made it such an effective and adaptable home.
