Shea, Animal Tracks of Glacier National Park red fox, mule deer, badger, coyote, About the Author Greg Beaumont’s interest in Glacier National Park dates from 1963, when he was a summer employee at Lake McDonald Lodge. In 1966 he and his wife were fire-control lookouts on Numa Ridge in the Bowman Valley. Now a free-lance writer-photographer, he lives with his family in Lincoln, Nebraska. National Park Service As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interests of all our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories under U.S. administration. |
