Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an
American Indian
reservation,
and a national
forest.
Along the
North
Fork
of the Flathead
River,
the park also borders
about 17,000 acres of private
lands
that
are currently
used for
ranching,
timber,
and agriculture.
This
land
is an important
part
of
the habitat
and migratory routes
for
several
endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are
essentially the only ones available for development in the region.
With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a land use
planning effort
to
guide the
future
of the North Fork. The park is
a partner
in an inter
local
agreement that
calls
for
resource
managing agencies to
work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park and the county, is helping to restrict small lot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment.
The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection
effort may have been stimulated by concerns that congress would impose
a legislative solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all
concerns.
