Brookhaven National Laboratory Natural Resource Management Plan
Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed a comprehensive Natural
Resource Management Plan (NRMP) that replaces the Wildlife Management Plan (WMP).
The NRMP builds on the solid foundation established by the WMP and addresses
virtually all known issues concerning natural resources on site at the
Laboratory. The NRMP also establishes “adaptive management” as the method
for continual improvement within the Natural Resources program. The
development of the NRMP utilized the assistance of a Technical Advisory
Group consisting of individuals from local land management agencies,
technical experts, Lab employee representatives, and representatives of the
general public. This group continues to meet periodically to advise the
natural resource manager, evaluate success, and recommend changes to the
program. Annual reports required under the NRMP provide information on the
implementation and progress made under the plan. Minor updates to the plan
are incorporated, as necessary, in the annual reports. A full evaluation of
the plan and re-write is scheduled every five years. The next full
evaluation of the NRMP is scheduled to begin in January 2009.Place all text and images inside this space. Reference: BNL 2003. Natural Resource Management Plan for Brookhaven National Laboratory. BNL-71870-2003.
