Dear Friend,
Long before humans ever set foot in Montana, great gray and boreal owls have called it home.
But you’d be lucky to spot one of these elusive birds while hiking through the forest.
Owls hunt by night and roost by day, usually well-camouflaged in the dense cover.
So well hidden, they have rarely been seen even on biologist surveys throughout the state, leaving more questions than answers about their status.
Hunting, logging, and development are just a few of the threats to their habitat, making Glacier National Park a key location to protect these birds.
That’s why we’re asking for your help today, on Giving Tuesday, to raise $11,000 before midnight tonight for great gray and boreal owl research.
Park scientists know that much of the park has incredible habitat to support breeding pairs of these owls, but without funding for a formal survey, they’ll just never know how many are here and whether they’re thriving, or simply surviving.
Your support of this project is critical to understanding how a protected area like Glacier serves as a refuge for species of concern like these two owls.
Won’t you take a moment today to help preserve and protect these owls with your special gift to the Glacier National Park Conservancy? There’s no better way to help protect these valuable species.
Your generous support on Giving Tuesday will help preserve and protect Glacier for generations to come.
With gratitude,
