About us

Igniting lifelong curiosity and awe for the natural world. Whether it’s through our unique education programs or the experiences and hands-on learning opportunities for all ages in our future facility, our efforts inspire an appreciation and understanding of “The Little Things That Run the World” (Edward O. Wilson, 1987).

As we continue to expand the reach and impact of our education programs, at the same time we’re moving toward the dream that started our organization more than a decade ago – opening a premier education facility featuring a tropical butterfly house and insectarium. There could not be a more exciting time to support our work.

A Tussock Moth Caterpillar (probably genus Orgyia): While this caterpillar appears very distinctive, we were not able to get a positive ID on it before sending this report. Regardless …what a beauty! Photo by Glenn Marangelo on 8/16/18 near Condon, MT.
