Glacier

"Young readers will learn the history of the land that is now Glacier National Park and its association with the Blackfeet Native American tribe, the wildlife and more than 2,000 plant species found in the park, what needs to be done to keep the park clean and preserve the glaciers, activities you can do in the park like hiking, biking, and a Red Bus tour that takes riders to the view the soaring mountain peaks and sparkling teal-blue lakes, and more. You'll also learn about the world biosphere reserve where scientists do research to protect the natural areas and maintain the plants and animals in the park, plus see beautiful photos of Glacier, both current and what it looked like before it became a park, and use the fun facts, chapter notes, suggested reading, and glossary to learn even more!"--, Provided by publisher
