Project Update
Research Helps to Better Understand and Protect Bighorn Sheep In Glacier

If you’ve ever driven along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, gone for a backcountry hike in Glacier, or experienced the grandeur of Hidden Lake, there's a good chance you've seen one of the park's most majestic species: Glacier's bighorn sheep.

With an athletic disposition and large curved horns weighing up to 30 pounds on males, the bighorn is a staple throughout the park. Despite these impressive characteristics, Glacier’s bighorn sheep face many risks. Your donations are supporting a multi-year study on bighorn sheep in Glacier National Park to better understand and protect them for years to come. Keep reading to learn more from Elizabeth Flesch, the postdoctoral researcher working on the study.
