Unit Three: Parks in the Parks: The Aspenlands

The two lessons in unit three explore the aspen parklands on the east side of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park (W-GIPP). Totally different from any other area in W-GIPP, scholars study the aspen-controlled cycles of snowshoe hares, lynx, ruffled grouse, and beaver. They also compare the hibernation habits of grizzly bears and marmots.
