Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will host its second virtual public meeting to discuss the 2025 update to the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) on Monday, May 5, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
This meeting is part of the process of revising and updating Washington’s SWAP every 10 years.
WDFW’s SWAP Coordinator will present information from the 2024 survey that followed the last round of engagement, updating the draft Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) (PDF) list, important habitat concepts, conservation themes that will be considered in the SWAP revision, and the timeline for public draft reviews this summer.
The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. All members of the public are welcome to attend.
Meeting materials will be available on WDFW’s website and this event webpage on April 28th, 2025, before the meeting. For information about the SWAP, and to learn about additional public meetings discussing the 2025 revision, please visit the SWAP webpage.
