Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking up to 12 individuals to serve on a working group charged with developing elk management options in areas where the transmission of brucellosis between elk and livestock is a concern.

The working group will lead an effort to examine effective elk management options and risk prevention efforts in several southwestern Montana hunting districts. The areas generally include hunting districts that border or are near Yellowstone National Park. 

Applications must be submitted by Dec. 21. To apply online—or to download an application form— visit FWP’s website at fwp.mt.gov. Click “Elk-Brucellosis Working Group”.  Address additional inquires via e-mail to fwpwld@mt.gov.
