Glacier Park talk on pollinators

The Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center at Glacier National Park will host a free brown-bag lecture on Monday, July 14, from noon to 1 p.m. at the Park’s Community Building, in the Park Headquarters District.

Bob Chinn, a retired educator, will give a multimedia presentation showcasing the Park’s more than 100 documented species of butterflies and many more species of moths. These pollinators play an important role in the Park’s ecosystem.

Butterflies are considered indicators of biodiversity and have been collected by Park naturalists since the 1930s. The pinned specimens are part of the Glacier National Park museum collection.
