Since 2006, a great number of private landowners, conservation groups, watershed councils, land trusts, outdoor interest groups, tribes, municipalities, agencies, consultants, and others have helped to implement many of the recommendations in Oregon’s State Wildlife Action Plan. For the 20-year update, many of these organizations and individuals contributed ideas and expertise. The revised plan is the result of numerous meetings, planning sessions, and discussions. ODFW staff devoted many hours to researching, developing content, updating sections, and providing outreach. Our partners graciously gave their time to review hundreds of pages of information, revise goals and actions, and provide feedback. Members of the public contributed their time to complete surveys, attend meetings, and provide comments.
ODFW thanks everyone who contributed to the State Wildlife Action Plan and who work toward the goals of protecting Oregon’s fish, wildlife, and habitats!
EXTERNAL CONTRIBUTORS
External partners and members of the public reviewed drafts of updated content, offered guidance for keeping the content and format relevant to them and their partner organizations, and circulated notifications for the review process throughout the state. They also helped update the content to reference current efforts, new science, and relevant initiatives.
