“Mount Helena’s Changing Forest” Field Trip

For twenty-two (22) years, C. R. Anderson Middle School 7th grade students have been collecting data from permanent plots on Mount Helena. The Eastern Montana Chapter of the Montana Society of American Foresters invite the public to learn what 7th graders have been able to show city managers.

Then, ride a free bus to sites in Mt Helena City Park to view, firsthand with foresters, the changes in vegetation that have occurred over time and the practices that the City of Helena is implementing to maintain the vegetation in a healthy, attractive and fire-resistant condition.
