Summary

Description

This document outlines a plan of action for nongame bird conservation in the Northcentral United States, including the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. This area corresponds to Region 3 of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The plan addresses actions that are needed to maintain and enhance nongame bird populations and habitats in the Upper Midwest, both on and off Service lands. While the tasks set forth in this document primarily focus on efforts that the Region will undertake or coordinate, cooperative ventures with other agencies and organizations will be necessary to fully achieve the plans objectives. This plan is intended to be a dynamic document that will be revised as necessary to reflect changing priorities and to address new issues.
