FWP holding meetings on licensing system

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks will be hosting a series of public meetings to hear input on replacing the current Automated License System. FWP will be requesting permission from the Legislature to replace the system.

The purpose of the meetings is to understand ways that the current system is meeting user needs and how it can be improved.

The meetings are open to anyone who is interested and FWP is hoping to have a diverse group that represents a variety of outdoor interests and perspectives. The session will include opportunities for small group discussions that will help FWP gather input on expectations, values, needs, priorities, and perceived issues and challenges related to the ALS and Campsite Reservation System.

A meet and greet will kick off each evening at 5:30 p.m., with pizza provided by FWP (except Miles City). The meetings will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The meetings will take place at FWP regional offices.

FWP ensures its meetings are fully accessible to those with special needs. To request arrangements, call FWP at 406-444-3186.
