Region 7, Wildlife Program Manager, John Ensign has announced a public meeting at Savage public school on Thursday evening, October 9, 2008. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and anyone interested in the proposed land purchase is welcome to attend.
The Hagler family owns the 165 acres of private land that abuts the existing boundary of Elk Island Wildlife Management Area (WMA). According to Ensign, "This is a wonderful opportunity for Montana sportsmen and women. An opportunity to add habitat to a WMA is an unusual opportunity that demands our attention and serious consideration. In addition the acreage will provide FWP the opportunity to establish a Fishing Access Site to the Yellowstone River. The public meeting is to explain to folks exactly what the project entails and to get their opinion on the proposed land purchase."
The public can also send written comments to: FWP, Attention: John Ensign, Box 1630, Miles City, MT 59301. Comments must be postmarked by October 14, 2008.
