June 28-Leafy Spurge Flea Beetle Collection at Grass Range
Approximately 20 people gathered at an established insectary in Grass Range to collect bio-control leafy spurge flea beetles. After 3 hours of sweeping, we collected over 180,000 insects. Thanks to Melissa Maggio, State Bio-Control Coordinator & Brady Cannon, Fergus County Weed Program Superintendent for arranging this collection day.

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.

McCone County Fair August 14-16
We will be at the McCone County Fair August 14th, 15th & 16th hosting an informational pollinator booth.
Information will be on pollinators–bees, butterfiles, birds and bats. There will be pollinator literature and kids activity pages. Free give-a-way: Pollinator seed box and noxious weed posters. There will be a drawing for two flower seed bomb tool kits.
Pollinator seed box: May contain annual sunflower, purple prairie clover, plains coreopsis, blue flax, black-eyed Susan, blanket flower, sainfoin, white clover, yellow sweet clover, tansy aster, butterfly weed, showy milkweed*, alfalfa, goldenrod, Rocky Mountain bee plant, Western yarrow, wild lupine, hairy vetch, lemon bee balm and white evening primrose.
* Showy milkweed is native to Montana and in large quantities, may be toxic to cattle. Please note that there are not sufficient quantities in each sample to cause any harm. This seed is contained in the pollinator mix because it is the main food source for Monarch butterflies. Without milkweed, the Monarch caterpillars die. We are doing our part to protect this beautiful butterfly.
We hope to see you at the Fair!
