Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge
Comprehensive Conservation Planning

How can you become involved?

You can get involved in the planning process in many ways. First, we would appreciate your review of the Draft CCP/EA document which is out for public review and comment until October 30, 2009. Another suggestion is to attend our open house/public meeting we have scheduled for September 24th, 2009. The meeting, which will be repeated in two sessions, will include a short presentation on the draft plan, after which Service staff will record any comments you would like to provide. These comments, as well as others received prior to October 30, 2009, will be considered when editing and finalizing the plan.

Public Meeting Schedule

Other ways you can become involved in our planning process include:

• Contact us at any time
• Read our planning newsletters and feature articles
• Invite us to your civic and professional group meetings
• Invite us to your elected official meetings (town, county, state)
• Work with us to develop partnerships
• Work with us to create working groups and technical exchanges
• Participate in informal gatherings and forums related to natural resources conservation on the Chesapeake Bay
