The Dillon Unit of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) received a request, to continue the work initiated in 2018, from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MTFW&P) for a conifer encroachment removal project in the Big Sheep Creek area (T13S R9W Sections 29, 30, 31 & 32), see Exhibit A – Project Location Map. The project would benefit up to 350 acres of primarily moose and mule deer winter range as well as a recently introduced bighorn sheep population through the removal of Douglas-fir, Rocky Mountain juniper, and limber pine in stands of mountain mahogany. The proposed work would be completed by contractors, MTFW&P employees, and willing volunteers as time allows.
