Wildlife Management Plans

Wildlife species management plans provide direction, goals and strategies for a species or group of species.
 

The planning process has several key elements including:

• Assess wildlife population needs and hunter/angler desires, and set management direction and goals.
• Conduct statewide survey of hunter/angler opinions, conduct extensive public and agency scoping.
• Commission direction and involvement, Commission reviews draft proposal and options, and approves or rejects recommended plan.

The statewide, single and multi-year management plans, provide guidance and overall direction to staff and help identify both statewide and regional population and management objectives.
