Wildlife Habitat Council To Meet

The Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program (WHIP) advisory council will meet Thursday, Jan. 12, at 9 a.m. at the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks conference room. People can attend via Zoom or in-person.

WHIP was established during the 2017 Legislature to set aside up to $2 million of federal Pittman-Robertson funding annually for the purpose of wildlife habitat restoration work in the form of noxious weed management. The program focuses on landscape-scale projects involving multiple landowners working together to solve noxious weed issues in priority wildlife habitats. The council will meet to discuss program administration. A public comment opportunity is scheduled for approximately 11:30 a.m. (time is approximate).
