The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has announced that a little over $3.4 million has been allocated to 71 selected habitat restoration projects, including two projects in northeastern Utah out of six that are listed as high priority projects. Little Montes Recreation Developments project will “help to provide more feed and habitat for wildlife and also improve fishing amenities and access at the Little Montes Wildlife Management Area in northeastern Utah. It will include the construction of a floating trail, tree planting, building three pavilions around the reservoir, planting food plots for wildlife and adding structures below the dam to help reduce erosion. This project received over $188,000 in funding.” The Willow Watershed Habitat Improvement project “will include maintaining beaver dam-like structures to reduce erosion. Deer and other big game will benefit from the removal of Utah juniper trees, and seeding work to improve plant diversity in the area. This project will receive $50,000 in funding.” Learn more at wildlife.utah.gov.
