Speak Out Against an Explosive Plan! Don’t let Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation blast Glacier National Park! The park’s lynx, mountain goats and threatened grizzlies are counting on you! Forward this message to everyone you know who cares about wildlife.

Dear Wildlife Supporter,

Here’s a corporate snow job: Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Corporation wants to use military artillery to launch explosives into one of our greatest national parks.

Sound reckless? It is.

Take action now. Write to BNSF. Tell them to withdraw their dangerous plan to shell Glacier National Park.

Glacier National Park is truly a national treasure. Within its vast wilderness and steep slopes live several imperiled creatures, including grizzly bears, lynx and bald eagles.

Launching explosive charges into prime wintering habitat for these creatures is a bad idea. Wildlife in the park can be found year-round near Glacier’s southern border -- the area where BNSF wants to shell. Bombardment could disturb hibernating grizzlies and other creatures, like mountain goats, that are active in this part of the park’s wilderness.

Blasting this habitat could have a lasting impact on the park’s vast wilderness. Tell BNSF to scrap their destructive plan!

For over 100 years, railroad tracks on the southern border of Glacier National Park have been protected from avalanches by snow sheds that help deflect cascading snow away from the railways. But the sheds have fallen into disrepair over the years, threatening rail workers and traffic along this scenic passage.

Instead of using their billions in corporate revenue (almost $4 billion last quarter alone) to repair and build protective sheds over avalanche-prone sections of track bordering the park, BNSF would rather hurl explosives in one of our most majestic national treasures -- a risky plan that threatens the precious wildlife that call this park home.

The National Park Service opposes the railroad's explosive plan. But the corporate giant, armed with powerful lobbyists, has threatened to bypass the Park Service to find friendlier allies in the Federal government. We can stop them!

Together, we can stop them! Speak up for Glacier National Park and the creatures that live there. Tell BNSF’s to withdraw their explosive plan to shell our national treasure.

As always, thanks for speaking out for our wildlife and the places they live.

Sincerely, Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife
