Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Upland Game Bird Enhancement Program’s citizen advisory council will meet in Miles City April 16-17 at FWP’s Region 7 headquarters, 352 I-94 Business Loop, beginning at 12:30 p.m. April 16.
During its first tour of southeastern Montana, council members will tour habitat projects and sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse leks.
“Prairie grouse and wild turkey in the southeast portion of the state are – to varying degrees – situated within a landscape of rangeland, cattle, energy exploration and production,” said Joe Perry, council chair. “It is especially important for the council to visit this area because of its unique game bird habitat needs and management challenges.”
Last year the advisory council submitted recommendations to the FWP Commission on a long-range strategic plan for FWP’s Upland Game Bird Enhancement Program. The commission accepted the strategic plan and now the advisory council is focused on supporting its implementation.
The meeting is open to the public and comments are welcome during the comment period set on the agenda. Go to the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov and click Upland Game Bird Council for meeting details.
