This page offers access to plans for managing each of the 16 national wildlife refuges in Alaska. Each of the refuges is managed under direction provided in a comprehensive conservation plan. These plans are dynamic documents that provide broad policy guidance and long-term goals and objectives for managing the refuges. Each plan is updated every 15 years to reflect changing public interests and new scientific information.

Each refuge also has a land-conservation plan, which focuses on private lands within the refuge boundaries with the goal of identifying and conserving high-quality habitat on those lands.
