\"FNR-616-Cover\"<\/a>Many landowners are interested in enhancing their property for wildlife. An important first step in that process is creating a plan. As the adage goes, \u201cfailing to plan, is planning to fail.\u201d Just as you would have a blueprint if you were building a house or a map if you were starting a road trip, the same is true when you are managing habitat for wildlife on your land.<\/p>\n

Landowners can tailor a wildlife habitat management plan to their own personal goals for their property. Maybe a hunter wants to increase the population of upland birds on their property, or a bird-watcher would like to improve the overall diversity of songbirds in their woodlands. Management plans help turn these goals into reality.<\/p>\n

This 12 page publication titled Creating a Wildlife Habitat Management Plan for Landowners<\/a> is packed with photos, resources and suggestions to help meet your goals.<\/p>\n
