Glacier National Park Act

The Glacier National Park Act, enacted in 1910, established Glacier National Park as a protected area designated for preservation and public enjoyment. It created a legal framework to safeguard the park’s natural landscape, wildlife, and cultural resources from development or exploitation. The law aimed to ensure that the park’s stunning glaciers, mountains, and ecosystems remain intact for future generations, while allowing for responsible recreation and education. Essentially, it formalized federal protection of Glacier National Park, ensuring its natural beauty and ecological integrity are preserved under federal stewardship.
