Game and Parks uses grazing to help manage noxious weeds and other invasive plants at wildlife management areas, which provides better habitat for wildlife species. Bids will be accepted to graze at East Willow Island until 11:59 p.m. Jan. 31, 2021 and grazing will begin May 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021.
