'Lightning and resulting fires have long been part of the Glacier ecosystem. Much of the natural beauty of the park--the diversity of wildlife and the mosaic of vegetation--has been shaped by fire. If aesthetic quality, represented primarily by naturalness, is to persist in Glacier, lightning and wildfire must continue to play their ecologicall important roles.'
