Montana Conservation Corps Youth Crew Report

A Montana Conservation Corps Youth Crew worked at MPG from 7/20/15 – 7/24/15. They cleared 28.22 total acres of houndstongue and removed 1.31 miles of electric fence in the northern floodplain. The fence, built to exclude neighboring livestock, had become an impediment to wildlife movement. This visit marked the first time MCC worked with MPG. It was a productive week and we look forward to future collaborations.
