NATURAL HISTORY LECTURE SERIESSteller’s Jay

Every March LCAS sponsors a lecture series on a topic of general interest. This year the theme is Celebrating One Hundred Years in Glacier National Park. For the past century Americans have enjoyed watching the diverse wildlife in the park. Every Thursday in March the public is invited to the Montana Historical Society to hear talks about the natural history of the “Crown of the Continent,” and have an opportunity to see a major exhibit on Glacier in the lobby of the Historical Society at 225 N. Roberts in Helena.
