the wen Story

Since 1996, we have met our mission by providing river education programs  and field science experiences to children and young adults throughout western Montana. 

Thousands of students have discovered the natural laboratories right in their own backyards through the efforts of our committed staff and volunteers. We reach rural and under-served schools through our programs, taking broad science concepts and connecting them to places students know, often within walking distance of their classrooms. Our programs are aligned with current state and national standards.
