Glacier National Park virtual field trips hope to inspire connection with nature

From climbing over logs in Glacier’s dense forests to trudging up a mountain, Lindsay Brandt tells her students to prepare for different parts of the hike much like she would in real life. Immersing the class in the habitats of the park might make them wonder what kinds of animals live there, a question that she posed to the students multiple times during the field trip.
