2025 Membership Dues!

Becoming a YBRA member indicates an interest in supporting our education and research mission. Membership dues go to the general fund. Members will receive members-only newsletters and a proxy form for voting in December of each year. Higher dues means higher support for the YBRA. Our minimum dues contribution ($15), is informally intended for students and early career professionals. Mount Maurice, Bears Tooth and higher amounts are intended for our sustaining members. 

The YBRA is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that owns and operates a field station near Red Lodge, Montana providing access for Earth science courses and researchers to the diverse geological and ecological natural laboratory of the region. Since our founding in 1936, we have played a vital role in the education of over 7,000 university students. For many, this experience was transformative and critical to launching successful careers in government, academia, and the resource and environmental industries. Annually, YBRA hosts 6 – 10 universities, a paleontological institute, and a variety of other groups totaling over 350 participants. Contributions to YBRA are vital for sustaining our camp and operations, and fulfilling our mission supporting Earth science education and research. With your help we can continue to provide the exceptional study environment that thousands of students have experienced over the last 89 years!
