Park Rangers have a wealth of knowledge about Glacier National Park, living in rural Montana, and more. Tap into these stores of knowledge through a short presentation followed by an informal question and answer session that is available to groups of all ages. Topics can cover the flora, fauna, glaciers, geology, biology, and cultural history of Glacier, as well as careers in the National Park Service.
The education staff at Glacier can visit your classroom for free via the internet. Using a videoconferencing connection, Glacier becomes just a click away. Once connected, our staff will spend about 60 minutes teaching your class. Please contact the Glacier education team if you have questions about videoconferencing platforms.
