Glacier National Park is one of America's most treasured and pristine wild landscapes, home to grizzly bears, bald eagles and other endangered species. Unfortunately, the park is threatened by oil and gas drilling leases just outside its boundaries in the Flathead River Valley.

The Obama administration has launched a new initiative to reconnect Americans, especially kids, with our country's amazing natural beauty. They're calling the initiative America's Great Outdoors and they're looking for public input on the places that need more protection. We think Glacier should make the list.

To help protect Glacier National Park, please add your name to the petition at right to Ken Salazar, President Obama's Secretary of the Interior.
