Comprehensive Conservation Planning Malheur National Wildlife Refuge has initiated a planning process called “Comprehensive Conservation Planning” (CCP) to review and plan for the long term management of wildlife, habitat, public use activities, and cultural resources on the Refuge. Our progress on the plan can be found in our CCP Update.
Meadows South of Buena Vista Overlook, Betty Dawson, USFWS Volunteer Beginning in June 2009, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will be requesting input from Tribes, interested agencies, elected officials, the public and organizations regarding their interests, concerns, and viewpoints about Refuge management issues. This information will be helpful in the development of the Refuge’s Comprehensive Conservation Plan. As the Service conducts the CCP planning process, we have the opportunity to look at our wildlife and habitat management and public programs from a fresh perspective. The original purposes of the Refuge will remain unchanged from when areas were set aside to protect habitat for wildlife. However, we have a chance to review each of our management programs, and this is where your insights and observations are needed, to facilitate a more complete and thoughtful process. Public Involvement
Tim Bodeen, Project Leader Information about the CCP planning process at Malheur Refuge can be found by visiting our planning page. Information about the CCP process region wide can be found at the Pacific Region Division of Refuge Planning website. Public Meetings A number of public meetings have been scheduled to provide information and to capture public comments.
