Refuge Planning
Northeast Region

Rappahannock River Valley 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 August 28, 2009. Another suggestion is to attend one of the two public meetings we have scheduled for July 30th, 2009. These meetings 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 August 28, 2009, will be considered when editing and finalizing the plan.
