Draft Environmental Assessment Danford Pond Viewing Area Easement

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks proposes to acquire an easement for public viewing access and build an associated bird viewing area on the property at the corner of North Somers Road and Manning Road in Kalispell, Flathead County, Montana. The proposed viewing area will be within the existing 34-acre Danford Conservation Easement and will provide viewing opportunity for wildlife species within and adjacent to Reed’s Slough. The easement for public viewing access would be donated to FWP and does not require funding; however, the construction of the viewing area will be paid for by FWP.
