Fleecer WMA Habitat Decision Notice

FWP proposes to implement a 9-year comprehensive habitat management program on Fleecer Mountain Wildlife Management Area (WMA) designed to maintain range conditions for wintering elk and other wildlife species. The program would include: 1) a renewal of a fee grazing lease and a modified grazing exchange-of-use (EOU) agreement with a coordinated grazing program between FWP, the adjacent landowner (Fleecer Cattle Company, formerly Smith 6-S Livestock) and potentially the U.S. Forest Service (USFS); 2) a renewal of an exchange-for-services (EFS) agreement on the Fleecer Addition portion of the WMA; and 3) incorporation of controlled burning on an as-needed basis to better manage smooth brome fields on the WMA. This habitat management program would extend from May 2023 through October 2031.
