The March 20 BRTU meeting will feature Teller Wildlife Refuge's new program Conservation in the Classroom: Inspiring the Next Generation of Stewards.

The program will start at 7:00 PM on Thursday, March 20 at the Hamilton Elks Club at 203 State Street in Hamilton.

Nicole Ballard, Conservation Education Director, and Dan Bailey, Executive Director of Teller Wildlife Refuge, will share insights on Conservation in the Classroom—an initiative bringing hands-on conservation education to students in the Bitterroot Valley.

The program was developed by Teller Wildlife Refuge, as a partnership with several other groups and will connect youth with local ecosystems, wildlife, and conservation principles through meaningful, interactive experiences. The ultimate aim is to shape future conservationists, foster collaboration, and expand outdoor learning opportunities. Nicole will also describe how TU members can help with this important work.

The program starts at 7:00, but come down about 6:00 for personality adjustment, featuring the Elks Club legendary brats cooked in beer. By special arrangement, a brat and a brew are only $10.00.

The meeting is open to the public and there is no charge for admission. to get more information, please contact Dave Ward or Marshall Bloom.
