Freezout Lake Spring Cleanup

By Morgan Marks

This will be the second year that Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Montana Wildlife Federation, and Sun River Watershed Group gather volunteers to clean up spent ammo and trash at Freezout Lake, a popular birding, hunting, wildlife viewing, and photography location forty miles west of Great Falls. The three groups hope to hold this event annually. By working together, volunteers can help make this park safer for waterfowl and wildlife and more enjoyable for people. Good work takes many hands.

This year’s event will occur on April 22, starting at 9 a.m. Volunteers will meet at the Freezout Lake Wildlife Management Area, break out into groups, spread out throughout the park, and clean up garbage and ammo until midday. Last year we collected several buckets of ammo and large trash items. 

Volunteers are encouraged to dress for wild Montana spring weather. Bring work gloves and buckets if you have them; some will be available to borrow if you don’t. Drinking water and snacks will be provided. RSVP to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.or This email address is being protected from spambots.
