Crown of the Continent

The Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center (CCRLC) promotes science and stewardship within the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem. The CCRLC is part of a national effort to increase scientific research and literacy in national parks.

By working with a variety of partners, we hope to encourage informed decision making, science literacy, and resource stewardship within Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, Grant-Kohrs Ranch, and Little Bighorn Battlefield.

Research

The CCRLC promotes scientific research by assisting researchers with permits, housing facilities, and funding.

Since 2005, the Citizen Science Program has invited members of the public to assist in biological research in the park.
