Beyond BOW Program

Beyond BOW Montana Logo

Beyond BOW workshops are another opportunity for women to learn outdoor skills. Beyond BOW is anything we offer that is not the traditional 3-day BOW workshop. They may be “next step” classes for women who have completed a beginner class at a BOW workshop. Or they may be one-day, one-subject classes.

This class is geared for beginners with little or no previous experience with plant identification. This workshop is co-hosted by the Montana Discovery Foundation and the Native Plant Society.
