2025 Winter North Fork Interlocal Agreement Meeting – W. K Walker

Hi, folks.

This year’s Winter 2026 Interlocal  Agreement Meeting is hosted by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks on February 11, at 10:00am. It will be held at the Kalispell FWP Headquarters Public Meeting Room, 490 North Meridian Road. (Click here for information on virtual attendance.)

For those of you new to this, Interlocal meetings are held twice each year, winter and summer. These semi-annual get-togethers are intended to encourage open discussion between North Fork landowners and neighbors, and local, state and federal agencies. In other words, it’s a big deal if you have an interest in the North Fork.

As a convenience (it’s not required), I’m serving as a central point of contact for issues that North Fork organizations and individuals would like to see addressed by the various government agencies represented at the meeting. If you’ll send me your issues via email to wkwalker@nvdi.com by the afternoon of Tuesday, January 27, I’ll see to it that they get passed on to the various organizations in enough time for them to prepare their presentations.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
