The Nocturnal Pollinators Bioblitz, made possible by your
support, raises awareness for the important role moths play in
Glacier's ecosystem, while collecting critical information about
moth diversity in the park. Scientists even discovered four moths
never before observed in Montana! Read about it in our new blog.

MAY

TONIGHT May 29, 6:30pm
Glacier Book Club:
Ranger Confidential with
author Andrea Lankford

For twelve years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most
impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved.
She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She
pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into
rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She
won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many
rattlesnakes.

Ranger Confidential is the story behind the scenery of the
nation’s crown jewels—Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Great
Smokies, Denali. In these iconic landscapes, where nature and
humanity constantly collide, scenery can be as cruel as it is
redemptive.

Glacier Conversation:
Lake McDonald Water Quality
with Brooke Bannerman

Lake McDonald may be the most photographed view in all of Glacier
National Park. It is an iconic symbol of the park’s natural
beauty and clean water. Glacier’s aquatic team aims to keep it
that way which is precisely why a 2-year, Conservancy-funded,
nutrient study of Lake McDonald was completed in 2023. You don’t
want to miss this conversation with Brooke Bannerman, University
of Montana Ph.D. student, as she shares stories from her time
studying Lake McDonald and the results of her important work.

JULY

July 10, 6:30pm
Glacier Book Club:
Footprint of a Heart with
author Shayla Paradeis

In Footprint of a Heart, Shayla Paradeis, whose trail name is
Kiddo, ventures off the path of musical theater at age 21 and
moves from Manhattan to Montana. Trading tap shoes for hiking
boots, she sculpts a life outdoors as a long-distance hiker. By
age 34, she walked over 18,000 miles between 4-month treks known
as thru-hikes and thousands of joyful miles running across the
land of her dreams, Glacier National Park. All without a smart
phone.

As her journeys transpire, she learns that counting miles can be
as toxic as expectations around body-image or money. The need to
connect is the true north. With an openness taught through the
trees, she experiences a fulfillment she never dreamed possible.
Trails are no longer a thing to do, they’re a place to be.
