Youth Forest Monitoring participants, 2023 Program USDA Forest Service Photo Since its start 25 years ago, the Youth Forest Monitoring Program (YFMP) has fostered a sense of curiosity and exploration of the natural world with many students pursuing natural resource degrees and careers including working for the US Forest Service. On the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, this year’s participants of the YFMP presented their findings and recommendations on soils, weeds, watersheds, and archeology to the public and Forest Service managers. Students participate in a six-week program where they train with Forest Service and State mentors to conduct in‐depth forest monitoring and better understand the complexities of forest management. Many thanks to Montana Discovery Foundation for their momentous success with this program.
