Thank you to our partners at the Bureau of Land Management - Montana/Dakotas, The Montana Land Reliance, and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks for making our 2026 Field Tour around Axolotl Lakes such a success! On this interpretive hike attendees were immersed in Montana's beautiful nature and learned about hair snares, the axolotls or tiger salamanders in the area, and conservation efforts! Thank you to everyone that was able to attend! We can't wait for next year's tour!
