Project Update
Glacier's First Microplastics Study Underway on Lake McDonald

Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park is renowned for its stunning clarity, colorful rocks, and sweeping views that provide a glimpse into the park’s rugged interior. The lake is a popular stop for visitors, and the view from the foot of the lake is arguably one of the most photographed places in the park.

Glacier National Park is characterized by its relatively untouched wilderness and pristine waterways, and park staff have identified a great need to identify the presence of microplastics and make informed decisions about how this pollution could be affecting the park’s waterways now and in the future. This is the first time the park has evaluated any of its waters for the presence of microplastics. Keep reading to learn about the results and findings from this initial study in Glacier National Park. Your donations to the Glacier Conservancy are making this research possible!
