Mule Deer Winter Range Management Planning

MDWRs with completed Management Plans

The MDWR committee is focussing on developing two separate management plans – one that will apply to mule deer winter ranges in the shallow and moderate snowpack zones, and one that will apply to those in the transition and deep snowpack zones.

MDWRs with completed Long-Term Objectives

The following mdwrs have completed final long-term objectives:

• Williams Lake – Chimney (PDF 1.2 Mb | Plot file)
