Current Planning Projects

The Division of Conservation Planning works with national wildlife refuges in the Midwest Region (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin) to develop comprehensive conservation plans. The plans identify goals for the next 15 years and specify the objectives and strategies that will be used in achieving those goals.
