FWP River Recreation Public Workshop 2
September 5, 2024
06:30pm-07:30pm
To gather public input, Montana FWP will host three virtual public workshops. These workshops will provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions and share their insights on trends and challenges with river recreation throughout the state.
The input gathered will be used by the River Recreation Advisory Council (RRAC). One of the key tasks of the council will be to hold discussions on managing river recreation opportunities, to include considerations for protecting natural resources and ensuring high-quality experiences for all river users across Montana. Additionally, FWP has received feedback about congestion on waterways and at access sites. While most agree on the importance of protecting aquatic and terrestrial resources, opinions vary on the best methods for managing river recreation.
As stewards of these public resources, FWP is committed to gathering broad public input to ensure sound management of these resources and opportunities. The recommendations by the council will help create a fair and predictable system for managing river recreation.
