SO SMOOTH.  The water will be flat before you today and tomorrow as unusually calm conditions for the spring we’ve had settle into the start of summer.  We’ve got updates from the NDG&F on keeping things clean, a reminder to get ready to buy your duck stamp and big funding news from RMEF in today’s Outdoors Roundup.

Featured Photo:  GETTING GLASSY.  Near calm conditions will settle in over the next two days.  Get your camera out for great reflection photos on the water! Simonson Photo.

DAY RATING:

PICK IT.  The NDG&F reminds sportsmen and recreationalists to pick up their trash and pack it out with them on any adventures this summer.  While you’re at it, grab someone else’s garbage too and make the state a bit cleaner!

STAMP IT.  DU reminds hunters that duck stamps go on sale June 26.  Sales of the stamp help preserve and enhance habitat that benefits waterfowl and other wildlife, along with providing flood mitigation and soil and water health to people as well.

FUND IT.  RMEF announces over $2 Million in funding for Montana’s habitat and land access projects from the organization’s efforts last year.  The work impacted over 32,000 acres last year in the state.
