Wildlife Speaker Series
2024 Big Hole Event
Coordination is currently underway for the 2024 Wildlife Speaker Series, including the annual Big Hole event. This year, we will be featuring grizzly bears with presenter Cecily Costello from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. The event will include a potluck with BHWC providing the main dish, elk burgers (donated by one of our board members). Date and venue to be announced soon.
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.
