Refuge Plan Comment Form

If you have ideas you'd like to share with us.

At this early stage of planning we are seeking your input via meetings, this comment form (in print or here on the web), and any other written comments submitted to us. We would like to learn what you think about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, any issues or concerns you may have, and any suggestions about how to best accomplish our mission.

The questions below are provided to help stimulate your thoughts. Respond to whichever questions interest you. You can type directly into the form, or cut and paste text from another document.

We need to receive your comments by June 7th, 2010 in order for them to be considered in the next phase of this planning process.

Use this form to send us your comments for Refuge planning.
a) What is most important to you about the Arctic Refuge, its future, and the draft goals?

b) What should Refuge staff do, or avoid doing, to best meet Refuge purposes (including wildlife, wilderness, recreation, natural diversity, subsistence, international treaties, water)?

c) Describe any issues, opportunities, or conflicts (now or in the future) you think this plan should address.

d) How do you think we could best deal with the concerns you have identified above?

e) Do you have any information that could contribute to our Wilderness or Wild and Scenic River reviews?

f) Please share any additional thoughts, suggestions, or comments you have regarding the Arctic Refuge and its uses, management, and future.
