Completed Planning Projects

All of the comprehensive conservation plans completed in the Midwest Region are available here in portable document format (pdf). Please be aware that all of the plans provided on this site are the original CCPs and do not reflect any modifications that may have been made since the CCP was approved. A variety of factors, including additional habitat planning and wildlife monitoring, may prompt changes to a CCP over the 15-year life of the plan.

If you are looking for current information on refuge activities or events, please look at the refuge's home page. If you follow the links below to a refuge planning page, you'll find a link to that refuge's home page.
