I’d like to start by thanking the Ice Age Floods Institute for letting the National Park Service share regular updates on Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail. I’m Justin Radford the Trail’s program manager and I look forward to sharing some of the work we are doing.
This summer I had the chance to travel much of the “Trail” from Missoula to Cape Disappointment. Having the opportunity to engage firsthand with the visitor experiences offered by our many partners and the amazing landscapes was certainly the highlight of the summer. Photos and stories from these site visits will bring enhancements to both the NPS App and our website in the future.
This summer we also had our second annual Teacher training in Spokane, WA. 43 K-12 Teachers earned credit towards their teaching certificates by learning how to instruct with the story of the Missoula Floods in mind. We are currently working on the calendar for next year with hopes that we will be able to bring our traveling Ice Age Floods NGT and Lake Roosevelt NRA visitor center trailer to more events.
Coming up this fall we will engage with the National Park Service’s Service-Wide Comprehensive Call seeking funding and support for future project activities. We will also be working to grow our cultural connections with more groups across trail. Thank you for your support as we continue to grow Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail.
More good news to come as we work with the Ice Age Floods Institute and other partners to move the Trail programs forward.
