The Flathead Reservation Fish and Wildlife Board will meet Wednesday in Polson.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Polson City Library and is open to the public. The board will discuss pheasant and gray partridge seasons and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ accomplishments over the past year under the state-tribal co-management agreement.

“It will be pretty much everything we’ve done, all the restoration work, regulatory possibilities, the suppression work and land acquisition,” said Barry Hansen, a tribal fisheries biologist. “It’s quite comprehensive, but it won’t be in detail. It will be more or less a checklist of the various things we’ve done throughout the year.”

The board is responsible for overseeing fisheries, waterfowl and bird hunting on the Flathead Reservation, and is composed of three tribal members, three members appointed by the state and one member from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
