The Grandeur of Glacier National Park

When people see Glacier National Park for the first time, the scenery, the big, big picture, is beyond obvious. They stand slack-jawed as “nature’s stun gun” overwhelms their senses. Join our recently retired FAS Conservation Educator, Denny Olson, as he presents on the Grandeur of Glacier during our April 14th meeting.

Olson has spent 27 years teaching Road Scholars, Glacier Institute students and training rangers in Glacier. He will share relatively unknown stories from bog and fen plants to tailed frogs to fire-adapted species to wolverines and grizzlies. And he won’t short-change us on Glacier’s birds, with stories both oddball and spectacular. 26 species of birds that nest in Glacier are in danger of disappearing this century, along with pikas, arctic plants, ptarmigans, black swifts and endemic stoneflies. We’ll talk about what we can do to mitigate and prevent that.

The meeting will take place Monday, April 14. Our meetings are available both in person and virtually. For those attending the meeting in person on April 14, we’ll meet in Room 26 of the Gateway Community Center at 7pm. This room is located on the east side of the building along Glenwood Drive.
