Join refuge wildlife biologist Beverly Skinner and tour the incredible wetlands and grasslands of this hidden jewel west of Kalispell. See nesting Trumpeter Swans and an abundance of shorebirds and waterfowl species associated with Palouse prairie, riparian/wetland, and larch/pine forest habitats of the 9000+ acre refuge, northwest of Marion, MT. We will drive and walk along some of the refuge’s closed roads with short hikes on uneven ground for better viewing. Meet at the Lost Trail Refuge Headquarters (about 45 miles NW of Kalispell) between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. For location and more information about the refuge go to http://www.fws.gov/refuge/lost_trail. Sign up is required and the number of participants is limited to 12. For more information about the trip, contact Beverly at 406-858-2266 or beverly_skinner@fws.gov.
