Have you ever wanted to write about the natural world but can’t find the words? Learn how you can use careful observation to craft beautiful language. In this new educational offering, participants can read, discuss, and start to write their own nature poetry based on our local and seasonal environmental changes. No previous writing or poetry experience necessary! Just come with your interest in learning more and your sense of exploration. Sign up to explore modern and classic poetry about the natural world with local poet and Master Naturalist student, Anne Holub. The sessions will include a packet of a variety of published poems geared
toward the reading levels in the class. We hope to offer continuing classes as the seasons progress!
Please bring a notebook or favorite writing journal and a pen or pencil and be prepared for a brief outdoor walk near the Audubon Center during class.
Members: $8/person
Non-Members: $10/person
Friday, October 27th from 6pm-8pm
Join Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and the Montana Audubon Center for a bat-filled night you’ll never forget! You’ll learn all about bats, their natural history, why they are important and how they find their pups in giant caves. You can venture into our very own “bat cave” and use your bat senses to find your pups or find the moths with your newly developed sense of echolocation. We will also have bat crafts, games, prizes and so much more! Come on out for some spectacular batty fun at the Montana Audubon Center.
This is a *free event and people of all ages are welcome!
*Donations are welcome to make more programs like this possible for years to come.
