Tatra National Park is a "sister park" to Rocky Mountain National Park, sharing similar mountainous terrain, plant and animal species, and management issues. As part of the formal sister park agreement, three staff members from Rocky traveled to Tatra for a month long staff exchange this fall. Come hear what they learned from their fellow park rangers in Poland and discover why Tatra is so beloved by the Polish people.
