Weigh in on Wildlife Plan? There’s Time – Georgia Wildlife Blog

Take a deep breath: You have more time to comment on Georgia’s draft 2025 State Wildlife Action Plan.

DNR has bumped the deadline for feedback from March 21 to April 11. Plan coordinator Dr. Brett Albanese, an assistant chief with the agency’s Wildlife Conservation Section, said the extension is allowing people to dig deeper into the details of the revised statewide strategy that guides conservation of everything from monarchs to manatees.

Since the comment period opened Feb. 19, many Georgians have provided their thoughts through the survey at georgiawildlife.com/WildGeorgiaSWAP. Albanese is hoping many more will by April 11.

Created by scores of stakeholders, the Wildlife Action Plan is considered vital to restoring, managing and protecting Georgia wildlife, including more than 1,000 species “of greatest conservation need.”
