FWP’s Canyon Ferry Wildlife Management Area draft plan seeks public comment
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking public comment on a draft plan for the Canyon Ferry Wildlife Management Area.
FWP manages Montana’s wildlife management areas to benefit wildlife and their habitats on behalf of the public and to provide public access for fish- and wildlife-related recreation.
The new draft plan outlines the goals and issues associated with how FWP manages it. The plan also has information on potential future management actions.
The plan will also serve as a reference for FWP’s long-term management agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation for establishing annual work plans for the WMA. Some actions may require more analysis and public comment, as required by the Montana Environmental Policy Act.
