May 17 7:00 pm at the Ninemile Community Center

25620 Nine Mile Road, Huson, MT 59846

Torrey Ritter, FWP nongame biologist based out of Missoula, will speak on:

FWP’s Nongame Wildlife Program and Key Nongame Species in the Ninemile Valley

Torrey will talk about the structure and function of FWP’s nongame wildlife program, including the primary goals of the program, how the program is funded, what guides our work, and examples of specific projects we work on. Torrey will provide a brief overview of the major nongame work going on in west-central Montana, then focus in on the Ninemile Valley and talk about specific habitat types, special habitat patches, and focal species relevant to the Ninemile Valley.

Adopt-a-Highway

The Ninemile Wildlife Workgroup has been cleaning a two mile section of old Highway 10 for the past 13 years. As road sections go, this one is pretty sweet, much of it in riparian habitat with little traffic and not too much trash (especially if you don’t count beverage containers). Every year brings a bonus surprise of new wildlife observations, a lost tool or treasure, or even lost cash.

If you’d like to get in on the fun, meet at Dale and Kandy Chik’s home, 29221 Old Highway 10 (frontage road about 1 mile west of Ninemile Creek) on June 17 at 10 AM. Bring some gloves and get in your steps while joining your neighbors in a public service event. Maybe you’ll find that treasure and you will be finished before lunch.
