The Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center (CCRLC) is located within Glacier National Park. CCRLC is part of a network of 14 National Park Service research learning centers located throughout the United States.
Research Learning Centers have been developed to facilitate research efforts and provide educational opportunities. They are places where science and education come together to preserve and protect areas of national significance. They have been designed to expand the role of research within our national parks, allow for more informed, science-based management decision-making and share research results with researchers, local communities, students, educators, and the public.
Within Glacier National Park, CCRLC staff help facilitate research projects throughout the park and, when the results are available, provide opportunities for learners of all ages to discover the park's natural and cultural resources through this research.
