New Project Leader Named Tim Bodeen, a 10-year veteran of the Service, has been named project leader for the Refuge. He served 4 years as a diver in the U.S. Navy and 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania. One issue we are evaluating as part of the Refuge's CCP process is a possible name change for the Refuge. Residents have told us that there is just too much confusion associated with the Refuge, the Kankakee State Fish and Wildlife Area, and the Indiana Grand Kankakee Marsh Restoration Project. Stay tuned for further details.
Public involvement is an essential element of comprehensive conservation planning.
