Land snorkeling is taking the time to savor aspects of nature as we wander through nature with no intention of hiking to a destination. The Gallatin Valley and its surroundings are a land accented by wildflowers-from diminutive orchids to plants that flower once every 60 years. We'll explore the rich subject matter of their forms, colors and habits in this presentation.

Refreshments at 5:30 p.m.

This collaborative community event is presented by OLLI at MSU and the Belgrade Community Library, with sponsorship by the Belgrade Community Library Foundation. It is free and open to the public. Advance registration is recommended, but walk-ins are welcome.

Please note that the Belgrade Community Library is in a new location: 205 E Main Street; located in Lewis & Clark Park.

Fee:  $0.00
