Each class will be structured to ideally combine theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on activities or field observations. Each topic will have a subject-matter expert drawn from Montana State University, Society of Wetland Scientists, and local specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach is a curriculum that focuses on the natural science aspects of wetlands with a concentration on the understanding of wetland ecology, hydrology, soils, plants, and wildlife. The course covers topics that will provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex ecological interactions that occur within these ecosystems with an emphasis on scientific observation, analysis, and interpretation, integrating field trips and hands-on activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wetlands<\/strong> Master <strong>Naturalist Program Series at the I<\/strong>ndreland Audubon Wetland Preserve<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>June 23, to, July 25, 202<\/em><\/strong>6<br>In addition to classroom and hands-on activities, at the Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve, there will be field trips to other wetland and riparian areas within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem of Montana.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$275.00 for Busy Beavers\u00a0 <strong>&lt;><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 $325.00 SAS members \u00a0<strong>&lt;><\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0$450.00 Non-members<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve makes every effort to award scholarship to the Wetland Master Naturalist Course when circumstances require it. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.lglforms.com\/form_engine\/s\/vfui8z-EGQWy0J_lkfY-NQ\">Request an Indreland Audubon Wetland Master Naturalist Scholarships<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Class size is limited to 15 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.lglforms.com\/form_engine\/s\/1wZ-xG6akbVhZga76cGPFA\">Click Here to Registration<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1oxPxVQtehhmkFaRVwgLKYdZX0RwMp0Ys\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Click Here for Course Description, Including Schedule &amp; Topics.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Wetland Naturalist Course Sacajawea Audubon Society (SAS) is developing a new naturalist course with a focus on wetlands, covering various aspects of wetland ecology and environmental science, tailored to Montana&#8217;s unique landscapes and ecological characteristics.
