They will create educational programs that connect visitors with nature in ways that cause them to learn, reflect and appreciate; develop nature trails; host skills clinics, manage invasive species and restore native ecosystems. Finally, members will organize events both within and outside the parks and develop volunteer opportunities that encourage people to participate in outdoor recreation. Our service terms take place amid the stunning scenery, dazzling waters, geologic wonders, and cultural history of Montana State Parks. These parks are located across the state, and members will serve at individual parks according to their preferences and skills.
