Hunting Under Discussion in the Management Plan for Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge: Staff of the Iroquois NWR, a 10,000-acre refuge between Buffalo and Rochester, is launching the first stage in the process of developing a 15-year management plan for the refuge. The first stage is to obtain suggestions and information on the scope of issues to consider. The public is invited to comment until April 30, 2008. It is important for the refuge staff to hear from hunters because the refuge is open to waterfowl, big game, small game, and turkey hunting. We want to ensure that those hunting opportunities are inlcuded and enhanced in the new management plan. Comments can be sent to
northeastplanning@fws.gov. Include "Iroquois NWR CCP/EA" in the subject line. Information about public meetings to be held can be found at
Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge: Home Page. You may also call Thomas Roster, Project Leader, at (585) 948-5445.
