Bear Trivia: Tuesday, September 16, 5-7 p.m.

Join us for a “beary” exciting night of trivia! This family-friendly event will test your knowledge with four rounds of facts, questions and just the right amount of challenge. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams. Teams of up to eight people allowed.

Wildlife Storytime - Bears: Tuesday, September 23, 3:30-4 p.m.

This time of year, bears are busy eating as much as they can to prepare for the long, cold winter. We will read a story about bears and then play a game where we will take on the role of bears searching for food. This free program is great for young learners accompanied by an adult.

Reserve a spot by calling 406-444-9941 or email emily.winn@mt.gov.

Bear Safety Skills: Tuesday, September 30, 5-6:30 p.m.

How can you set up a bear-safe campsite? What should you do if you encounter a bear on the trail? How do you properly deploy bear spray? Join MT WILD and the Forest Service to go over these basics and more. The program includes an opportunity to practice using bear spray. This program is geared toward students 12 and up.
