Teton County School District - SummerQuest
Nature Ambassador Brigid Sinram has been supporting the Teton County School District's SummerQuest program, by leading outdoor field trips on Mondays throughout the summer. These outdoor learning experiences include helping third grade students examine real bird nests, then building their own; hiking to Hidden Falls in Grand Teton National Park; and taking nature photos in GTNP with cameras provided by the JH Wildlife Film Fest. Brigid has also been providing outdoor nature experiences at the Alta School (Alta, WY) to enhance their SummerQuest program, where junior explorers have visited wetlands, examined trees, and hiked down Grand Targhee to investigate the alpine environment.
