Glacier hosts two meetings

 Glacier National Park is hosting two community meetings next week to share information about park activities and encourage discussions between park managers and community members and neighbors. 

A west-side meeting will be Wednesday, May 22, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Teakettle Community Hall in Columbia Falls. An east-side meeting will be Thursday, May 23, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier.

Following presentations by Acting Superintendent Kym Hall and other park managers, there will be a question-and-answer period and opportunity for informal conversations.

Hall will give updates on 2013 park programs, including Going-to-the-Sun Road rehabilitation, spring plowing, sequestration impacts, the Going-to-the-Sun Road Corridor Management Plan, Dark Skies Initiative, and aquatic invasive species management. 

Community members are encouraged to attend and learn more about what’s happening at the park.
