TOMORROW NIGHT - Thursday January 29
 
If you are interested in the future of the Atchafalaya National
Wildlife Refuge, now is the chance for you to speak up!! The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service is starting work on a long-term management
plan for the Refuge. A Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) will be
developed, which is a practical guide for managing the Refuge over
the next 15 years. You can play a significant role in the development
of this far-reaching plan. Comments from the public will be used in
subsequent stages of the CCP planning process.

Join us for a public meeting on Thursday, January 29, 2009, from 6:00
to 8:00 p.m. at the Estuarine Habitat and Coastal Fisheries Center
(room 119), located at 646 Cajundome Road in Lafayette, Louisiana.

We invite YOU to provide comments to the following questions, as well
as any other issue, opportunity or concern they may have for the
Refuge:

What makes Atchafalaya Refuge special or unique for you?
