Fish and Wildlife Recommendations for Subdivision Development in Montana
In April of 2012, Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP) produced a working document intended for use by FWP biologists, local governments, and developers to generate an open discussion on the implementation of consistent fish and wildlife conservation recommendations for subdivision development in Montana. 

Effects of Recreation on Rocky Mountain Wildlife - WEBSITE BIBLIOGRAPHY NOW UPDATED THROUGH 2024 CONTAINS NEARLY 6,100 REFERENCES
In 1999, the Montana Chapter of the Wildlife Society produced a report to provide resource users, managers, and decision-makers with access to the best available scientific information about the effects of recreation on wildlife and to foster good stewardship of Montana's wildlife resources for current and future generations. 

The bibliographies of literature used to develop these documents can be searched by year, wildcard, and/or filtered with the categories on the left side of this page.

Users can also download the full bibliographies as an Excel Workbook

2025 UPDATE: Due to increasing pressures on Rocky Mountain wildlife from a growing human population and increases in use of public lands for recreation, the Montana Natural Heritage Program partnered with The Montana Chapter of the Wildlife Society and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation to update this web application with over 1,500 journal publications and reports that have been published on these topics since the original project was completed in 1999.

Natural resource professionals and students interested in contributing additional references and/or annotations relevant to the effects of recreation and subdivisions on Rocky Mountain wildlife are encouraged to send them to Bryce Maxell.
