And now, because of the popularity of these outdoor field trips, the programs will be available year-around. This past spring and fall, 1,124 local students took part in the field trips at Lone Pine. The programs are offered free of charge to students across northwest Montana. Students hailed from schools in Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, Bigfork, Polson, Creston, and others. These students learned about insects, natural history, mammals, and forest management. Ages range from pre-K through 12th grade, but the majority of students are 2nd and 3rd-graders.
