Local academics to discuss wilderness & human nature in public lecture
As part of its continuing presentation series, the Montana Wilderness Association’s Madison-Gallatin Chapter will next host local award-winning science writer Gary Ferguson and social-cultural psychologist Mary M. Clare of local nonprofit Full Ecology. The first “Wilderness and…” lecture of the new year will take place Thursday, January 16th at Bozeman’s Hope Lutheran Church.
Ferguson and Clare’s presentation will consider how we humans are actually here as wilderness ourselves, and how the presence and wisdom of wild nature offers reliable guidance for whatever is coming our way. The program will take place in the Fireside Room beginning at 7pm and is open to the public. Hope Lutheran is located at 2152 W Graf Street (off S 19th) in Bozeman.
The Madison-Gallatin Chapter of the Montana Wilderness Association educates and inspires people to protect special wild places in Park, Gallatin and Madison counties in Southwest and South-Central Montana. Some best known wild places include the four units of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness in the Madison Range, a large section of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, some of the northwestern parts of Yellowstone National Park, and the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area in the Gallatin Range. Other mountain ranges in the geographic area with unprotected wild areas include parts of the Bridgers, the Gravely and Snowcrest Ranges, the Tobacco Roots and Crazy Mountains.
