Inside FWP - Region 7
FWP Seeks Applicants for Region 7 Citizen Advisory Council
Miles City Regional Office of Fish, Wildlife & Parks is
seeking applicants from the public to fill several volunteer positions on
the first-ever Region 7 Citizen Advisory Council (CAC). The council is being
established to provide input and suggestions to the regional staff and to
bring their community issues to the table.
The CAC will be a general advisory committee that meets periodically and
works with FWP on many issues and programs. Citizen advisors will serve in a
voluntary capacity with meals and travel expenses provided. Meetings will be
held a few times each year. The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for
January and the meetings will be open to the public.
Citizen advisors will be selected from numerous locations across the region.
FWP is interested in selecting members from a large pool of candidates who
represent a variety of communities and interest groups. The department
welcomes interest from hunters, anglers, landowners, educators, trappers,
outdoor recreationists, business owners and the general public.
"We encourage anyone who has an interest in the natural resources of
southeastern Montana to apply," says Bryce Christensen, Region 7 supervisor.
"We are eager to have a diverse group of citizens advise us on our programs
and priorities and help us do a better job of managing the region’s fish,
wildlife and recreational resources."
The function of the committee will be to:
 |
Help promote Montana’s strong hunting, fishing, trapping and recreational traditions; |
|
Give citizen’s an avenue to provide advise to FWP; |
|
Provide a forum for ongoing two-way communication between the public and FWP; |
|
Assist FWP personnel to be more responsive to the public; |
|
Help FWP identify important public issues before they become problems; |
|
Provide advice and perspective on important resource issues; |
|
Assist FWP with crafting local, sustainable solutions to both regional and statewide issues. |
If you are interested in serving on the CAC, phone Dwayne
Andrews or Bryce Christensen at FWP in Miles City, 406-234-0900, or email
dandrews@mt.gov. Interested
persons will receive an application in the mail or via email. Completed
