Future Fisheries Improvement Program grant deadline is Nov. 15

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks reminds landowners, watershed groups and others that this winter's deadline to apply for Future Fisheries Improvement Program grants is November 15.

The goal of FWP's Future Fisheries Program is to restore rivers, streams and lakes to improve Montana's wild fish habitat. Entities can receive funding for qualifying projects that benefit Montana's wild fish. Each project is assessed by an independent review panel and final funding decisions are made by the Fish and Wildlife Commission.
