OUR PARTNERS : ENDORSEMENTS FOR SWAN MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS GUIDE SCHOOL
Swan Mountain Wilderness Guide School is proud to maintain strong relationships with other Montana and national wilderness and wildlife organizations including:
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks provides enforcement officers and or
program information specialists to help candidates to understand the
importance of game laws, resource management, expectations of guides
and outfitters and understanding the pressures of the non-hunting
public.
The Montana Board of Outfitters is the licensing agency for outfitters
and guides in the state of Montana. Representatives provide their
direct perspective of the issues and challenge the Board faces and will
inform students on what is required for obtaining licenses and
maintaining a good relationship.
Montana DNRC has graciously offered to provide specialists to discuss
state regulatory, land use and conservation issues. They will openly
discuss issues relating to guided services on state lands, public use
issues and challenges from an environmental perspective.
The Flathead
National Forest, a
division of the USDA-USFS, is providing information officers as resource to our
school to understand the expectations of outfitters and/guides, the permitting
process, and conservation practices.
