The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission will hold a Boating Education Course from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm on Monday and Tuesday, March 15 & 16, at the AGFC Regional Office located at 771 Jordan Lane in Monticello.
By Arkansas law, all persons horn on or after January 1, 1986, and of legal age to operate a motorboat, must have successfully completed an approved Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Boating Education Course and carry proof of completion while operating a motorboat on Arkansas water.
There is no fee for the course. Students under the age of 18 should have a parent or guardian accompany them to sign a permission form. Parents are not required to stay for the class, although they are welcome. Interested students must pre-register no later than 4:00 pm on Friday, March 12, by contacting Laura Rogers, Regional Education Coordinator, at 870-8186378.


















Earlier this month, the USDA Forest Service announced that Congress has approved a $2.06 million Forest Legacy grant to the State of Arkansas to purchase approximately 2,400 acres of south Arkansas forestland in Bradley and Drew counties.
