Field Seminars

Our world-class field seminars examine specific aspects of the park ecosystem through a combination of fun field excursions and presentations. Our seminar leaders are experts in their fields and include professors, naturalists, scientists, and acclaimed photographers, writers, historians, and artists. Most programs are based at the Lamar Buffalo Ranch.

Lodging & Learning

These programs, offered in partnership with Yellowstone National Park Lodges, are based at park hotels and taught by Institute field educators who are intimately familiar with Yellowstone. Included are daily field trips, lodging, most meals, and in-park transportation. This is our vacation package that covers almost everything and provides fun and discovery, too.

Private Tours

Book a truly customizable experience perfect for all ages and ability levels. Your Yellowstone Forever Institute educator will provide an adventure designed around your needs and interests. If you’re bringing children along on your tour, we’ll connect them to the stories behind the fascinating sights and sounds of Yellowstone.

Yellowstone Day Adventures

Join us as we explore the stunning northern range and the park’s iconic Lamar Valley, home to a diverse array of wildlife including bears, elk, bison, wolves, bighorn sheep, moose, and pronghorn. Our high-powered optics will allow you to feel up close and personal with these magnificent animals as we observe them in their natural habitats.

Naturalist Day Hikes

Each Naturalist Day Hike takes advantage of the extensive hiking trails found throughout Yellowstone National Park by showcasing a different trail each day. Hikes are led by a Yellowstone Forever naturalist who will provide a guided experience that will emphasize seasonal highlights. Hikes will be taken at a rather leisurely pace to ensure we optimize wildlife sightings and take the time to smell the flowers!
