Pennsylvania Ecological Services Plan
-
The Pennsylvania Ecological Services Field Office (PAFO) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has developed this Priority Planning Strategy to guide its work over the next three fiscal years. This Strategy will be shared with other conservation partners, both within the FWS (e.g. other field stations in Pennsylvania, as well as neighboring Field Offices), and outside of the FWS (state wildlife agencies, federal agencies, conservation organizations, and others). Based on conversations with partners at all levels, and depending upon changing resources, information, or rates of progress, the Strategy will be subject to ongoing review and revision.

Maryland SHC Plan
-
The Chesapeake Bay Field Office is actively involved in conservation and restoration activities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed with most of these activities occurring in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. However, our close proximity to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program involves us taking a lead role in dealing with watershed wide issues. We have been actively engaged in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program since its inception in 1983. Over the years we have provided leadership on fish passage, oysters, stream restoration, toxics, invasive species, wetlands, and SAV. Most recently, we are providing leadership on the Habitat Goal Implementation Team, and have provided substantial input to develop a renewed federal strategy for restoring the Chesapeake Bay as part of the Chesapeake Bay Executive Order that President Obama signed in May 2009. We will be responsible for implementing many of the actions identified in the Habitat and Living Resource 202(g) report.

Virginia Ecological Services Plan

The 2010-2014 Strategic Plan's purpose is to work as one group, crossing and blurring program boundaries, to determine statewide resource priorities and a strategic approach to addressing these priorities in our daily actions, resulting in a more focused effort on specific Service priorities that will offer the largest conservation benefit.

West Virginia Ecological Services Plan
-
With the mission of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in mind the Service’s West Virginia Field Office (WVFO), Elkins, West Virginia, has developed a multi-year comprehensive strategic priority plan for West Virginia to be utilized in conjunction with the Service’s Washington and Region 5 offices’ guiding parameters articulated under the Vision, Conservation Principles and Priorities below. The WVFO has incorporated these parameters into our strategic priority plan, weaving our activities not only into these national and regional parameters but also into the Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) framework.
