The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Montana Historical Society team up for Investigating Mann Gulch, a workshop for children ages 8 and older.
On Aug. 5, 1949, a forest fire swept through Mann Gulch, north of Helena, and claimed the lives of 13 wildland firefighters. Many lessons can be learned from this history. Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest staff will lead a hands-on kids workshop to explore improvements in firefighting equipment, how fire spreads, fire ecology, and what it's like to be a smokejumper.
Registration is limited to 12 youths. Parents are encouraged to attend. Please register.
