GREAT FALLS, Mont. (NMB) – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has developed a draft Environmental Assessment and is seeking public comment for the proposed action of two grazing lease renewals on the Ear Mountain Wildlife Management Area.
A press release says that the 3,080-acre WMA is located about 20 miles west of Choteau along the Rocky Mountain Front in Teton County.
The proposed grazing leases would allow cattle to be used as a management tool to remove residual vegetation and maintain vegetative condition, providing available and quality native forage, benefiting wildlife on the WMA. The WMA ha been grazed with a rest-rotation grazing system since 1991.
Comments will be accepted until 5 PM on March 22nd and can be submitted at fwp.mt.gov.
