Conservation and Birds in the Upper Blackfoot Valley led by Jim Brown and a USFWS biologist.

Meet in the Northwest corner of the Adams Center parking lot for carpooling departing at 7:00am. We will return by mid to late afternoon.

We will view and learn about conservation of wildlife and ranching resources and the rural way of life accomplished through the community-based Blackfoot Challenge. We will visit private ranch and USFWS ownerships to learn about Trumpeter Swan re-introductions and view extensive protected wetlands and grasslands. A half mile hike through sagebrush to an overlook of Kleinschmidt Lake will be involved. Expect to see a variety of waterbirds and songbirds utilizing the Browns Lake Area.

Call Jim Brown at 549-8052 for more information.
