Summary

Description

This LCP explores the effects of private lands on Yukon Delta NWR resources, and provides an opportunity to discuss key refuge issues and ways the Service can work with private landowners to protect fish and wildlife resources. This LCP identifies which privatelyowned lands in the Yukon Delta NWR contain the highest quality fish and wildlife habitats. It also lists options ranging from informal cooperative agreements, to land exchanges, to selling lands or easements that some landowners may wish to pursue. The LCP serves primarily to foster communication between the Refuge and interested landowners and to help identify priority areas with high resource value.
