The document summarizes wildlife and fisheries in a watershed district. It found that habitats and populations were generally in good condition, though endangered, threatened, and special concern species continue to increase, concentrated in the eastern portion. It identifies rare plant communities that require awareness of habitat needs for critical species, and habitat management plans may be developed.

1. Wildlife and Fisheries

2. Review Of Current Chapter Lists and describes species present and general management strategy Found that wildlife habitats and populations were generally in good condition

3. Trend Analysis The number of endangered (E), threatened (T), and special concern (SC) species continues to increase Increasing focus on plant communities and habitat requirements Threatened and endangered species are most heavily concentrated in the eastern portion of the watershed

4. Trends: Rare Plant Communities Poor Fen Oak Savanna Dune Subtype Mixed Oak Forest Emergent Marsh Dry Sand Prairie Conifer Swamp

5. Implications Need to become more aware of Habitat needs for critical species & communities: Endangered Threatened Special Concern

6. Expectations Could see some Habitat management plans
