Winter Ecology in Montana

  • Where: MOLLI (University of Montana Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) University of Montana Missoula, Montana
  • When: Jan 14th, 2026 at 1:00 pm until Feb 17th, 2026

Winter in Montana is a beautiful and quiet time to explore nature. It may seem that not much is going on, but for the curious naturalist, it is a fantastic time for learning and discovery. In this 6-week course, you will learn how to identify trees, shrubs, birds, lichens and mammals during winter, and we will discuss how they are adapted to survive our coldest months. There will be 3 classroom sessions at the University of Montana, and 3 field trips to natural areas in Missoula for guided exploration.

Instructor: Elena Ulev, owner of Blue Heron Nature Tours
