About the Wildlife Speaker Series

The Big Hole Watershed Committee has co-sponsored a Wildlife Speaker Series event each summer since 2013. The purpose of the Wildlife Speaker Series is to increase awareness about our less controversial wildlife and engage with our local community through walks, tours, and presentations. Local conservation groups join together to share interesting wildlife facts at local historical and conservation-oriented venues. These events provide a social opportunity for learning and foster relationships with community members and wildlife experts.

A group of committed, local conservation organizations (listed below) carries the torch to keep the series alive.
