Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan for Klamath Marsh NWR Available for Public Review
Comment Period Closes September 18, 2009
The Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) was released for public review and comment August 4, 2009.
Public meetings are scheduled for August 18 from 6:30 -8:30 pm at the Klamath Falls Shilo Inn (ballroom), 2500 Almond St., Klamath Falls, Oregon 97601; and, on August 19 from 6:30 -8:30 pm at the Chiloquin Community Center, 216 1st. Ave. Chiloquin, Oregon 97624.
The Draft CCP/EA identifies three alternatives for how the Refuge will be managed over the next 15 years. The Service’s preferred alternative would restore the portion of the Williamson River and Big Spring Creek on the Refuge. In addition, the Service would substantially improve management of emergent marsh, meadows, ponderosa pine forest and aspen to increase habitat value for migratory birds and other wildlife.
