Help us nurture kids in nature so they can grow!
Spring is here and we are looking ahead to our summer programming! Each spring, we call on our supporters to come together to secure critical funds for our summer camp scholarships. The Montana Natural History Center is committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to identify wildflowers and insects, make observations that help them connect to the natural world, and explore in a screen-free environment, all while receiving encouragement from compassionate and experienced instructors.
Every gift provides profound opportunities for Montana children! And every gift provides YOU amazing spring naturalist benefits. Please see below.
If you would like to donate in another way, please call us at 406.327.0405. We are so grateful for your generosity!

- Made from long-lasting bamboo
- Replaceable paper nesting tubes
Give mason bees a home and watch your garden flourish under the care of these gentle, non-stinging pollinators! Replace the nesting tubes as soon as they are empty in the spring, as female bees prefer new ones each season. Ideal against a south-facing wall, where it won’t swing in the wind and the sun can keep it warm.
