Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live amongst Mammoths? Mason Hintermeister is a club member who spent the summer doing just that as part of an Education Internship at the 140,000 year old Mammoth Site of Hot Springs, South Dakota. In this talk, he will describe how more than 50 mammoths met their end in an area half the size of a football field, explain why a museum was built over them, and tell how the internship allowed him and the other interns to use educational programming to bring the Ice Age alive for hundreds of visitors of all ages. In addition, he will talk about what he learned from the experience and what life was like in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
This event will take place virtually via Zoom. RSVP to have the Zoom link and passcode emailed to you.
