Montana Outdoor Science School (MOSS) and the US Fish & Wildlife Service are hosting the 18th Annual Watershed Festival on Saturday, June 11th from 10am-3pm at the Bozeman Fish Technology Center on Bridger Canyon Drive.
This FREE day includes a Fishing Derby for kids under 12, live bluegrass music by the Bridger Creek Boys, duck races, raptors, food, fly casting lessons, and more! Limited parking will be available on-site, and a free shuttle from the fairgrounds will also be offered. MOSS is dedicated to promoting an awareness, understanding and appreciation of the natural world through quality educational experiences. MOSS teaches kids and adults about the outdoors and the environment through hands-on, experiential learning. It uses the outdoors as its classroom! Their summer camps allow kids an in-depth opportunity to learn about nature, particularly our own unique backyard! In-school programs, taught to current curriculum standards, help children develop their scientific inquiry and learning skills. MOSS has worked with kids for 21 years to inspire a love of the outdoors and understanding of our natural world. They are a small non-profit with a huge heart, and their passion for getting kids outdoors–actively exploring and learning about this extraordinary place we call home–remains absolutely core to all that they do. In 2015-2016, they served over 22 schools and reached over 1300 students. Help them continue to bring outdoor, hands-on science to rural, urban and under-served students in Southwest Montana.
