Refuge Prepares Habitat Management Plan
Bombay Hook NWR recently sought public review and comment on its Draft Habitat Management Plan (HMP) and Environmental Assessment. Once finalized, this HMP will provide a long-term vision and specific guidance on managing the refuge’s habitats over the next 15 years (2020 to 2035). The 30-day public comment period closed on September 26, 2020.
To request more information, contact the refuge at 302-653-9345 or email at IR1_BombayHook@fws.gov.
Bombay Hook offers hands on nature studies for grades one through twelve, allowing students to experience the several habitats on the refuge – from tidal salt marsh to freshwater impoundments, upland fields, and forests. Learn more on our For Educators page.
