Youth and Educators

BLM, Trout Unlimited, and youth crews installed 98 beaver dam analogs in the Muddy Creek watershed, restoring 14 miles of habitat for native fish, mule deer, sage grouse, and other wildlife.

Since 1974, students from the Anchorage School District come to Campbell Creek for a field trip where they learn about wildlife safety, archaeology, birding, fly fishing, paleontology, land surveying, and gold panning.

Bureau of Land Management’s Monticello Field Office partnered with Montezuma Creek Elementary School to host its second annual Junior Ranger Day.

From April 9-12, BLM New Mexico staff joined the Wilderness Inquiry crew to host the state’s third annual Canoemobile event at Cochiti Lake, New Mexico. This traveling event is known as a “floating classroom” and brings students of all ages and abilities out on local waterways to learn about science, history, geography, and culture.

BLM is paving the way for high school students to pursue careers in wildfire with a new education program. The combined classroom curriculum and field training make them eligible for BLM fire crew jobs upon graduation.
