A wildlife course "Stories in the Snow" is offered by the Glacier Institute on Saturdays, February 11 and March 3. This is a day-long program.
Join Brian Baxter on this exploration of over 40 species of North American Wildlife. After a short introductory session at Glacier Park Community Building the group will head out on skies or snow shoes. You will spend the day investigating the various signs left behind by taking measurements of tracks, identifying other signs left by the animals, and building the story of what happened.
