Proposed guideline revisions for Montana’s Upland Game Bird Enhancement (UGBE) Program are up for comment through April 13 on Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks’ website.
The revisions are necessary for implementing the new UGBE Program strategic plan endorsed by the FWP Commission in 2011. The proposed changes include fine tuning program requirements, responsibilities and application and funding processes. Others clarify project renewals, payments and reporting issues.
Eight public meetings will be held in early April to discuss the proposed rules. The Kalispell meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 9, beginning at 6 p.m. at FWP Region 1 headquarters on 490 North Meridian Road. The public may also provide comment through April 13 by mail to: Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Attn: UGBEP Rule Comments, P.O Box 200701, Helena, MT 59620.
