The Glacier Conservancy is proud to support Glacier National
Park's efforts to mitigate the impact of invasive fish species on
the native populations of westslope cutthroat and bull trout in
order to preserve and protect native aquatic habitats.

We recently visited the fisheries staff to see this work
firsthand.

Pika Science Update

The Daily Inter Lake recently featured an exciting GNPC-funded
project
( [link removed] )
to learn more about Glacier's pika population by extracting DNA
from pika scat.

Pika genetic diversity will be assessed to understand the
population's resiliency in the face of changing conditions. The
study's results will be crucial for informing future conservation
efforts.

Glacier Book Club:
The Civilian Conservation Corps in GNP with author David Butler

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), one of the most successful
of all New Deal programs, was heavily involved in creating and
improving the infrastructure of Glacier National Park. President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited in August 1934 and gave one of
his famous radio “fireside chats” from the park, in which he
praised the efforts of the CCC in helping improve the country’s
national parks. Chapters examine CCC camp life, the nature of the
work carried out by the CCC boys, structures built in the park by
the CCC, and FDR’s visit.
