Wildcat Wildlife Management Area Fee Title Acquisition Draft EA Checklist

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) is proposing the establishment of the Wildcat Wildlife Management Area (WMA) along the Lower Yellowstone River Corridor (LYR) in Rosebud County, Montana.  Public access to lands along the LYR is currently limited and in areas where public access opportunities do exist, such resources are heavily utilized. Due to the abundance of recreational potential along the LYR, and the current lack of public access, recreational opportunities are cherished.
The proposed Wildcat WMA is situated along the Yellowstone River and is located seven miles east of Forsyth, in Rosebud County. The property provides approximately 2.2 miles of riverfront and associated high quality riparian wildlife habitat with no existing farm or croplands.
FWP’s objective is to purchase the 328-acre property and establish the new WMA by the end of calendar year 2023.
