Wilderness & Civilization students use camera traps along Rattlesnake Creek to study Missoula’s wildlife. Now in its fifth year, the project gives students hands-on experience with wildlife research and data analysis. This year’s cohort is exploring how different species are distributed along the spectrum from urban development to wildland.
The mission of the The Wilderness Institute is to further the understanding of wilderness and wild lands stewardship through education, research and service.
Housed within the 91次元's , the Wilderness Institute provides students, agencies, and the general public with information, educational programs and resources, and technical tools to understand public lands conservation, land stewardship, protected areas management, and the social and ecological values of wilderness.
