Education Mann Gulch Links Disclaimer Send us your comments Natural Resource Conservation Education Natural Resource Conservation Education programs are developed to help people of all ages understand and appreciate our country's natural resources and conserve those resources for future generations. On the Helena National Forest, conservation education encompasses all efforts to talk with people about conserving our natural resources.
Staff provide or co-sponsor countless programs and develop materials on many issues.
Examples include publications, school presentations, a winter lecture series, hosted hikes, participation in community education fairs, the development of education trunks, and teacher trainings. Our goal is to connect people to conservation education wherever possible. We see the process of conservation education as lifelong, and thus our programs encompass people of all ages including preschoolers, grade schoolers, teens, adults and seniors. We recognize that with our land base and our expertise, the Helena National Forest has an important role to play in conservation education. But we also know that we are not the lone player.
