Mt. Helena Continuous Vegetation Inventory
The Eastside Chapter of Montana SAF initiated the Mount Helena Continuous Vegetation Inventory in 2002. The concept was to develop a project that, on a continuing basis, exposed young people to various aspects of forests and forestry. Specific goals were to show each class the variety of plants that occur in a particular forest, the ways that forests change over time and to introduce them to professional inventory equipment and techniques and to possible careers in natural resource fields.
104th Foresters' Ball
Date: Canceled in 2022, hope to return in 2023.
Contact ForestersBall@gmail.com
Opportunity: help the UM students with set up, procurement of trees/wood, and more
Begun in 1915, the Foresters’ Ball is a traditional swing dance with live music designed to raise scholarship funds for students at the University of Montana. Students spend a week building an 1800′s logging town, complete with chow hall, chapel, jail, saloon (serving soda), slide, and one of the biggest dance floors in Montana. Live music and swing dancing are the name of the game.
