Photos: A Walk in the Park

Matt Ferrell with the Montana Discovery Foundation discuss-es the proprieties of snow with Lincoln 4th graders Seth Pher-igo, Wyatt Kirby and Jax Meeks during an educational snow-shoe walk in Blackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in the Wild last Thursday afternoon, Jan. 14.

Seth Pherigo takes advantage of the icy conditions on the packed down path to slide on his knees down the slope into 'East-West pas-sage' (or as they refer to it, 'the maze').

Montana Discovery Foundation's Rebecca Skeldon puts vials of snow collected by the students into a mug as part of a demonstration on insulation.

Jax Meeks gathers sticks to create a shelter during an exercise to look at the adaptations and survival requirements of animals who stay in the Lincoln area throughout the winter.
