Refuge Plans
Land-Conservation
Plans
Land-conservation plans focus on private lands within the refuge boundaries
with the goal of identifying and conserving high-quality habitat on
those lands. The plan guides the refuge’s land-protection activities
and provides a framework for refuge and private landowner cooperation.
Any course of action would require mutual consent. The plan does not
obligate either the refuge or the landowners to undertake any of the
land-conservation measures identified. The refuge must consider management
goals, priorities, and the availability of funds when approached by
private landowners with land-conservation proposals.
A total of 10 land conservation plans were completed between 1992 and
2004; at that time, many were called “land protection plans.”
The remaining five plans are expected to be completed by the end of
2014.
This table contains links to portions of the land completed land conservation plans.

Unlike comprehensive conservation plans, land conservation plans receive
only an internal review and circulation; they are not published for
the general public. Copies of summaries or portions of those already
completed are available through Refuge Plans and going to the specific
refuge name.
