By definition, Conservation  Assessments summarize the best information available to define what is needed to conserve a species.  Description of species life history, habitat, distribution and abundance, population biology and a summary of potential threats all provide background for subsequent preparation of a Conservation Strategy.

During the fall of 2000, Lake States National Forests drafted an outline and began working with researchers to identify information and references to be used in the Assessment.  If you have information you feel would be useful please contact: awilliamson@fs.fed.us.
