The purpose of this project was to assist Glacier National Park with advancing from a provisional International Dark Sky Park (IDSP) status to a full IDSP status. To accomplish this, the park’s lighting inventory, dark sky educational programs, and night sky quality were evaluated. We determined that Glacier National Park’s sky quality has improved since becoming a provisional IDSP and we created resources to facilitate and expand the park’s dark sky educational outreach programs. Our analysis determined that the park is on track to achieve its IDSP goals by March of 2021. A set of recommendations was compiled and presented to park staff.
