Last week at BYEP, participants and their mentors spent the week exploring the Gallatin Valley alongside incredible community partners - getting their hands dirty, giving back, learning new skills, and making plenty of memories along the way.
From conservation and wildlife to farming, service, and even salsa dancing, every workshop was a chance to connect with our community and each other. 🤝

We kicked off the week with Gallatin Conservation District , where participants learned about aquatic invasive species and harvested fresh veggies from the beautiful community garden. 🌱🥕
Participants spent time cleaning up trash at Bozeman Beach and the Gallatin River - giving back to the places that give us so much! 💚

We traded hiking boots for dancing shoes and learned some salsa moves! 💃 Nothing brings people together quite like trying something new (and laughing through it together).
We visited MT Raptor Conservation Center to meet some incredible feathered ambassadors and learn about the important role raptors play in Montana’s ecosystems.🦅
Together with Grow Wild, we spent the day removing invasive weeds from DNRC land, helping protect native habitats while giving back to the public lands we love.
To top it all off, we visited Amaltheia Organic Dairy where participants met the goats, learned about goat dairy production, and got a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a local farm. 🐐❤️
Huge thanks to all our community partners for sharing your knowledge, passion, and time with the BYEP community. We couldn’t do it without you! 🙌💞
