Refuge Plans

This page offers access to plans for managing each of the 16 national wildlife refuges in Alaska. Each of the refuges is managed under direction provided in a comprehensive conservation plan. These plans are dynamic documents that provide broad policy guidance and long-term goals and objectives for managing the refuges. Each plan is updated every 15 years to reflect changing public interests and new scientific information. (click to see revision schedule (pdf)).

Each refuge also has a land-conservation plan, which focuses on private lands within the refuge boundaries with the goal of identifying and conserving high-quality habitat on those lands.

To have your name added to our planning mailing list, print out, complete, fold, and mail this form (pdf).
