<p>This
dissertation used a qualitative and interpretive lens to explore visitor and
staff perceptions of the mission and purpose of Glacier National Park and the
National Park Service as well as the interpreted environmental state of this
park. Through the use of online survey data and participant observations, this
study provides a deeper understanding of how individuals inside of Glacier
National Park view the potential for this park to succeed or fail with its
mission as well as how environmental concerns are communicated to those within
the park during the summer of 2019. Strategic environmental communication
strategies are provided at the conclusion of this study in order to aid Glacier
and the National Park Service in more efficiently educating their publics about
their core goals and environmental management efforts.</p>
