Next Steps
Development of this conservation plan does not
guarantee implementation. Many conservation
actions need to be stepped down into specific
tasks so as to implement each action. Specific
partners need to be identified to be accountable
for the implementation of these tasks and other
components of this plan.
At a minimum, the Golden-winged Warbler
Working Group, Wildlife Management Institute,
and other key partners should work together
under the objectives of the National Fish and
Wildlife Foundation’s Early Successional Business
Plan to make habitat recommendations
compatible and consistent across all focal areas,
and ensure, when appropriate, that
implementation strategies and management
activities consider all associated species.
Further, given the strong interest in ESH by a
large number of potential researchers and land

managers, an organized effort should be made to
update National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s
Early Successional Business Plan to help guide
future work and funding. The need to step down
the plan by identifying management sites and
conservation strategies in each state is an
important agency process that the Goldenwinged
Warbler Working Group should assist
with in the future.
This plan is a dynamic document that will require
periodic reviews and updates. We propose an
initial national review and associated workshop in
2015. Keeping the conservation planning process
fluid will allow for incorporation of new science
and provide information useful to the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service in making decisions about
listing the species under the Endangered Species
Act. Further, we suggest that periodic reviews be
coordinated with the 5-year Canadian recovery
plan review process as required by SARA.
