Statewide Bison Draft EIS–Comment period ends September 11th

STATEWIDE BISON DRAFT EIS – INFORMATIONAL

FWP is seeking public comment on a statewide bison conservation and management Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that evaluates opportunities for bison restoration somewhere in Montana. The EIS considers four alternatives, one of which is a no action alternative. Three alternatives evaluate broad scenarios for bison restoration on different types of land, i.e., private, public or tribal, and at different herd size scales.

Important Reminder:  Keep the ground covered!
