Homestake Community Science Day

Homestake Community Science Day

Saturday, July 11, 2026 (10:00 AM - 4:00 PM) (MDT)

Description

Join Eagle River Coalition and Wilderness Workshop for an expert-guided hands-on exploration of the Homestake Valley, which is home to ancient fen wetlands. This rare ecosystem provides incredible biodiversity and is home to numerous threatened species. In the midst of an ongoing drought and the threat of a potential transmountain diversion, inventorying and understanding wetlands – a critical carbon sink in a changing climate – allows us to better advocate for these places now and into the future.
