News from Glacier National Park
WEST GLACIER - Glacier National Park is seeking public comment on an environmental assessment (EA) for the park’s proposed Fire Management Plan (FMP). The EA is available for public review and comment until March 12 online at: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/FMP2024.
The proposed plan outlines how park staff manage wildfire, prescribed fire, and non-fire fuel treatments; protect the public and park communities; and protect park values, including natural and cultural resources and infrastructure. Specific strategies and tactics would be selected depending on the location and defined incident protection and resource objectives. The park would use prescribed fire and non-fire fuels treatments to reduce fuel accumulation, maintaining desired conditions and more.
The EA evaluates impacts to air quality, vegetation and soils, wildlife, federally listed species, cultural resources, recommended wilderness, and natural soundscapes.
Submit your comments online: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/FMP2024, or by mail to Superintendent, Glacier National Park, Attn: FMP 2024 EA, P.O. Box 128, West Glacier, Montana, 59936.
