Due to the recent government shutdown, the MNWR Refuge CCP meeting scheduled for Thursday November 6th is cancelled. As a result, the majority of MNWR staff have been placed on furlough, halting further progress and limiting the ability to adequately prepare for the upcoming meeting. Even if operations resume prior to that date, there will likely not be sufficient time to ensure a productive and meaningful session.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. The refuge remains committed to their collaborative efforts and will provide updates as soon as operations resume.
