Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), Region One, has written a draft environmental assessment (EA) for the purpose of seeking public comment for a proposed action to contract farming on the North Shore State Park/WMA in Flathead County in a share-cropping agreement for the benefit of wildlife, especially migrating waterfowl and upland birds, but other wildlife as well, including white-tailed deer, small game, and songbirds, and to also control weeds on the property. The draft EA is out for a 2-week public review through July 12, 2012.
