Join the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Montana Historical Society for Investigating Mann Gulch, a workshop for kids ages 8 and up on Sat., Sep. 14 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Lewis and Clark Library, 120 S. Last Chance Gulch, Helena.
On August 5, 1949, a forest fire swept through Mann Gulch, north of Helena, and claimed the lives of 13 wildland firefighters. Many lessons can be learned from this history. Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest staff will lead a hands-on kids workshop to explore improvements in fire fighting equipment, how fire spreads, fire ecology, and what it's like to be a smokejumper.
Registration is open to ages 8 and up and is limited to 12 kids. Parents are encouraged to attend.
