The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently released a final comprehensive conservation plan for the National Elk Refuge in Wyoming. The 326-page document describes how the agency will manage the refuge over the next 15 years.

The plan lists numerous objectives for management of the refuge’s landscape, habitat and wildlife, cultural resources, visitor services, and resource protection. The refuge was established over a century ago to manage the rapidly diminishing elk population in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
