Trina Jo Bradley, RMFRG Executive Director, and Megan Terry and Linda Poole of Western Landowners Alliance will also be on hand to answer questions and share information. Staff from both Farm Service Agency (FSA) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will give an overview of the application processes for producers and what is needed in order to start an application for programs. Nate Owens, Kara Maplethorpe, and Steve Primm of Heart of the Rockies Initiative will also be available to answer questions and give an overview of the new grizzly bear and wolf conflict prevention programs through NRCS. They will also share an overview of the America the Beautiful Grant funding that will also be available to use for grizzly bear conflict prevention. To round out the evening, we will have a brief update from Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks and US Fish and Wildlife Service on grizzly bear management and actions.
