Native Plants of Montana: A History of Forage and Horticulture

Carson Thomas from the Montana Department of Agriculture will present on “Native Plants of Montana: A History of Forage and Horticulture.” While history often focuses on the people of the past, the story of the land and our natural environment also is an important part of our cultural heritage. In this presentation, Thomas will delve into the cultural significance of native plants and how their historic cultivation and use has helped shape Montana history. This program is being offered in conjunction with the Big Read of “The Bear” by Andrew Krivak.
Recordings will be posted on the MTHS YouTube channel.
