Thank you Ipswich High School for an epic week!! It was truly a week well spent with many laughs and memories shared that will be remembered by all💕 The rest of the week was spent exploring the park, meeting with Rick McIntyre and Taylor Rabe to discuss all things wolves, finding a carcass from the previous year that a wolf killed, and exploring an incredible hike to trout lake🐺🐟🌲

Ipswich had another epic day featuring bison ID as part of the Home on the Range study. 🕺🏻Students used scopes to determine the demographics of the herd and telemetry to find any potential collared bison. 🦬 As part of the study, f***l samples are also to be collected and they had a blast doing just so. 🎉 We also got to see sleeping wolves thanks to Ellie from the park wolf team!🐺

We had the best time adventuring in Yellowstone National Park with Gallatin High this week. Whether it was digging snow pits, practicing tree identification, or cooking dinner, these students brought their curiosity and enthusiasm! We so appreciated all of the knowledge they shared with us about their home state - Montana!

Students from Ipswich High School enjoyed their first day in Yellowstone last week! The sun was out as we learned about snowpack in the Greater Yellowstone Ecoregion, identified some coniferous trees with the help of some cool songs, did some bison watching, and ate lunch with a view.

Gallatin High School students spent some of the week learning about methods used by park biologists, including how to use radio telemetry equipment to track animals in the park. They put these skills into action to collect data for one of the park’s citizen science projects.

We were lucky to be joined by Gallatin High School this week, hailing from Bozeman, MT. They had the opportunity to meet with several park biologist and experts, including Rick McIntyre, Taylor Rabe, and Lauren McGarvey. Students got to learn more about the wildlife research being conducted in the park, and pose questions related to future career paths.

In addition to all the science conducted during their time with us, Fairfield Prep also got to experience the beauty of Yellowstone. We saw so many species of animals, and got to explore some caves and other geological features.

Fairfield Prep helped us continue our scientific data collection in Yellowstone this past week. With their help, we collected 4 f***l samples and recorded the demographics on 7 herds of bison!
