The Commission will also hear updates on the 2018 legislative session, the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Collaborative Working Group, the public engagement and strategic planning process, the Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp and the implementation of Chapter 60--the regulations that allows for certified game bird farm licensees to collect sage-grouse eggs from the wild and raise them.
