Tell an educator you know about Flathead Audubon Educational Trunks!
Flathead Audubon Society has educational trunks available for check-out again, with materials for teachers, home-schoolers, and others interested in birds, their habitats, and conservation. All trunks are free of charge.
The trunks and materials can be used to build, enhance, and bring a local tie into a class science unit. These hands-on and interactive materials will provide students with a unique and fun learning opportunity.
Audubon Trunks are located at Lone Pine State Park. Make a trunk reservation online at https://flatheadaudubon.org/learn/educational-trunks/ by clicking on the name of the trunk you would like to reserve, then selecting the dates you would like to reserve on the calendar, and fill in the trunk reservation form.
