Individual units were acquired, dating back to the early 1950’s, for their specific benefit for fish and wildlife diversity and recreational significance. These lands include a wide range of important fish and wildlife habitats including riparian, estuarine, freshwater wetland, old-growth/mature forest, upland meadow and coastal dune systems. Focus units include Olympic, Wynoochee, John’s River, Chinook and Chehalis/Hoxit. This is an update to the management plan that provides management direction for the Olympic – Willapa Hills Wildlife Area Complex. The plan identifies needs and guides activities on the area based on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Mission of “Sound Stewardship of Fish and Wildlife” and its underlying statewide goals and objectives as they apply to local conditions http://wdfw.wa.gov/lands/wildlife_areas/management_plans/ Plans are updated biannually as habitat and species conditions change, as new regulations Inside and scientific knowledge develop, as public issues and concerns evolve, and as administration Land Management Summary 1 of wildlife areas change.
