Lynx Habitat Management Plan - For DNR-Managed Lands
2006  Full Book

This modified Lynx Habitat Management Plan was developed in response to the federal listing of the species (USFWS 2000). It revises the 1996 DNR Lynx Habitat Management Plan (WDNR 1996a), which had been developed in response to the state listing. This plan guides DNR's forest management activities to facilitate the creation and preservation of quality lynx habitat. It allows DNR to meet state and federal requirements for protecting lynx, while at the same time providing revenue through timber production and meeting its other land management obligations (i.e. recreation). This 2006 revision of the 1996 Lynx Plan incorporates the take avoidance modifications as well as the new scientific information on Canada lynx and its major prey, the snowshoe hare (Lepus amercanus). It also incorporates the results from the implementation and effectiveness monitoring conducted after the 1996 Lynx Plan was adopted and the land transfers conducted since 1996.
