The Missoula Fire Science Lab and the Rocky Mountain Research Station, are offering a two-day workshop in Missoula June 11-12th 8am – 4:30pm.
The workshop is free and consists of two intense days of entertaining hands-on activities for teaching students about wildland fire behavior, ecology, management and activities related to traditional fire use by Native Americans. Content will focus on ecosystems in the Northern Rocky Mountains and North Cascade range, but the program has been adapted for use in other ecosystems.
The FireWorks program is a valuable resource for teachers (teacher renewal credits or University of Montana credit are available), youth leaders, agency educators and fire prevention specialists, communication specialists, and outdoor educators.
