[MCN] Yellowstone wildlife research opportunity for high schoolers this summer

[Katie Ewen]

Hello Missoula,

Ecology Project International (EPI) is accepting Montana high school
students to participate in this summer’s Yellowstone Wildlife Ecology
Program. This summer’s course will take place August 3 – 7.

The course will immerse your child in wildlife conservation happening in
the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Activities include collecting data for a
Yellowstone National Park bison study, a morning observing wolves with a
biologist in the Lamar Valley, completing a fence project to improve
wildlife migration opportunities, and exploration of Yellowstone’s most
active geothermal basin. In order to maximize time outside, the group will
camp and prepare meals together camp-style. EPI’s instructors are
experienced environmental educators and researchers. Up to 15 Montana and
Idaho students will participate in the course. See
https://www.ecologyproject.org/programs/local-communities-campuses/yellowstone/programs/summer-wildlife-ecology
 for more information.

Enrolling is easy at our website: http://www.ecologyproject.org/enroll.
Course tuition is $350 (all inclusive – food , lodging, transportation,
activities, materials, etc.) and scholarships are available. Questions?
Contact Erin at 721-8784.

Students who participate in EPI’s Yellowstone Program this summer are also
eligible to apply to participate in a month-long paid conservation
internship next summer (2017) in the Bitterroot Valley!
