Crown Of The Continent E-Magazine Available

The winter issue of the Crown of the Continent e-magazine has been released and can be found online at http://www.umt.edu/urelations/crown.html .

The region called the Crown of the Continent encompasses Glacier National Park and spans the Continental Divide from the Elk River headwaters and Crowsnest Pass in Canada to Rogers Pass and the Blackfoot River drainage in Montana.

The University of Montana launched the Crown of the Continent Initiative to provide an educational catalyst for collaboration between UM and Glacier National Park. The initiative now has grown to include groups beyond the park, notably The Nature Conservancy, the Glacier Institute, Flathead Valley Community College, the University of Calgary and more.

The initiative will publish two e-magazines and two e-notes each year, allowing people to get up-to-date information about issues driving decisions and research in the Crown. These color-filled publications cover everything from the physical and historical geography of the Crown to interesting scientific research on the region’s wildlife, climate, rivers, glaciers and more.
