CMR Community Working Group Meeting
Rangeland Monitoring 101 Training and Tour (Part 2 of 3)
June 27, 2024
09:00am-03:15pm
Winnett, MT
The CMR Community Working Group (CMR CWG) is excited to keep moving forward with the three-part series of meetings related to rangeland monitoring. The next will be a hands-on monitoring opportunity June 27, based out of Winnett, MT. We have a great line-up of experts who will guide participants in hands-on demonstrations on how to do several different parts of a greater monitoring plan for your own ranch and land management. There is NO virtual option for this meeting and training, as we will mostly be in the field.
Please RSVP by June 17 so we can plan for the day accordingly by emailing Molly at mrcdc@macdnet.org or calling 406-454-0056.

MEPA Working Group
2024-06-27 16:00 - 17:30 | Zoom
MEPA Working Group
June 27, 2024
04:00pm
Zoom Registration
The MEPA Workgroup convened by DEQ in January 2024 has released its draft final report for public review and comment. Over the past five months, the workgroup met to discuss some of the biggest perceived challenges associated with implementation of the Montana Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). The workgroup heard presentations from DEQ staff and individual members, considered public comment, and discussed key challenges, barriers, and potential solutions. The report contains 12 detailed recommendations for consideration by state policymakers. Though the workgroup focused most of its attention on DEQ and DEQ’s implementation of MEPA, these recommendations may apply to multiple state agencies.
The recommendations included in this report do not reflect full consensus from the workgroup. Where members disagreed, the differing opinions and opposing viewpoints they shared are documented throughout the report.
