SUMMARY:Protecting Pollinators and Native Plants - Lunch & Learn Climate Solutions Week Program
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, October 3\, 2024\nTime: 12:00-1:00 p.m.\nLocation: Montana Natural History Center\nCost: FREE \nJoin the Montana Natural History Center and Climate Smart Missoula for a Lunch & Learn program\, Protecting Pollinators and Native Plants\, during Climate Solutions Week 2024! \nOur communities thrive with the biodiversity of native plants. Insects\, birds\, and mammals have evolved to rely on our native plant communities. We can support the vibrancy of local habitats and survival of fellow species by planting and caring for native plants. During this program you will learn how to make your own seed balls to distribute native seeds! \nFall is the perfect time for native seed planting. Many require the cold snap of winter to germinate in the spring. Seed balls are easy to transport and can be tossed in a garden patch or abandoned weedy area. We will provide directions on creating them and will have materials available for the first 20 people to make one to take home. \nBring your lunch! \nAfter we make the seed balls we will screen a film about plants and pollinators. Sit back\, eat lunch\, and enjoy the movie! \nPhoto by Kelly Dix

SUMMARY:iNaturalist Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, March 5th\nTime: 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nLocation: Montana Natural History Center\nCost: FREE\, but please register \nREGISTER HERE \nSnap a photo of your nature observations wherever you roam to conserve our state’s remarkable wild diversity!  \nCan using a phone app help scientists with conservation work? Bryce Maxell\,  program director at the Montana Natural Heritage Program\, will show you how to collect and access information on Montana’s plants and animals using iNaturalist. He’ll also explain how agencies use your data to inform conservation of native species and control of invasive species. Come learn about this fun interactive learning tool! \nThe Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) is Montana’s source for reliable and objective information on over 18\,000 different species and habitats that occur in Montana\, emphasizing those of conservation concern. The MTNHP has centralized over 6.1 million observation records and over 515\,000 surveys for species\, assigned conservation status ranks to over 5\,000 species\, constructed predicted habitat suitability models for over 2\,300 species\, and created predicted biodiversity layers for vertebrates\, species of conservation concern\, and noxious weeds. This and other information the MTNHP manages informs stakeholders in a variety of environmental review\, permitting\, and planning processes and it can be easily accessed by anyone on the program’s Montana Field Guide\, Map Viewer\, Species Snapshot\, and other web pages. \niNaturalist is an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature. iNaturalist helps you identify the plants and animals around you while generating data for science and conservation. Get connected with a community of millions scientists and naturalists who can help you learn more about nature! What’s more\, by recording and sharing your observations\, you’ll create research-quality data for scientists working to better understand and protect nature. \nInstructor: Bryce Maxell (PhD in Fish and Wildlife Biology from the University of Montana) is the Program Coordinator with the Montana Natural Heritage Program. He has worked with the MTNHP in various capacities dating back to 1996 and has led the program in since 2015. Bryce has conducted research on seaweeds in the Puget Sound\, a number of species in Australia and New Zealand\, and Harlequin Ducks\, amphibians\, reptiles\, bats\, and invasive species in Montana.
