Montana – State officials last week released the final version of a new forest action plan that prioritizes forest management and restoration efforts on 3.8 million acres across Montana.
The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation released the completed 2020 revision to the Montana Forest Action Plan last Tuesday. Paige Cohn, a DNRC spokesperson, said the agency has submitted a final plan to Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and the U.S. Forest Service.
Now, officials can begin the process of putting the plan’s strategies and goals into action, she said. Since Dec. 1, the DNRC has been accepting project proposal submissions for cross-boundary forest management work. The submissions will continue to be accepted until Jan. 29.
