Kick off the 2026 Black Hills Summit with our opening program. During the opening program, we will review and highlight some of the week's programming, introduce our faculty, and review some important logistical information- like where and when is breakfast? Aaron Douglass, a Custer State Park naturalist, will join us to introduce the park that will be our home for the week: its native species, safety tips (what should I do if I see a bison?), a brief history of the park.
