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.
