The staff at Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge is embarking on an important multi-year process to develop a comprehensive conservation plan (CCP) and environmental impact statement (EIS) for the refuge including UL Bend National Wildlife Refuge. A CCP (as its commonly referred to) provides long-range guidance and management direction for the refuge’s programs. Your ideas and comments are an important part of the process, and we invite you to participate. Throughout the process, we will provide information on this website about upcoming public meetings or workshops and we’ll post project documents as they become available. Additionally, you can request to be placed on the project mailing list or submit comments by following the links.
