The CAC is an advisory committee designed to provide a forum for ongoing, two-way communication, help FWP identify emerging issues, provide advice and perspective on important resource and management issues and assist FWP with crafting local solutions on regional and statewide issues. Committee members represent a variety of south central Montana communities and natural resource interests.
