FWP citizens meeting next week

The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 1 Citizen Advisory Committee will meet Wednesday, Sept. 28 at the FWP office in Kalispell beginning at 6 p.m.

The 18-member committee typically meets five to six times a year in Kalispell to discuss a variety of fish, wildlife, natural resource, and outdoor recreation issues in northwest Montana.

At the Sept. 28 meeting, citizen advisors will receive a presentation on the agency’s Parks and Outdoor Recreation Division and the expansion of outdoor recreation across the state.
