About Hackmatack

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has recently completed an Environmental Assessment of the Hackmatack project, and has published four options for a proposed national wildlife refuge in the bi-state area.  They have recommended the formation of a refuge consistent with Option C, employing a Cores and Corridors concept for wildlife preservation with a focus on migratory and grassland birds.  The Option C map is shown below.  The Friends of Hackmatack strongly support their recommendation.
