To engage the public in meaningful discussions about Malheur National Wildlife Refuge management issues, an open house with refuge management staff present to listen to and answer questions will be held.

The Comprehensive Conservation Planning public open house meeting is planned for Sept. 23, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Harney County Chamber of Commerce, 484 N. Broadway. This open house will enable all participants to learn about and discuss each others issues and ideas.

The refuge will also continue to provide information at informal listening posts and displays set up at a number of locations in Oregon during September and October.
