NDGF Department Plan

This document is a continuation of the strategic phase of the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Planning process. The strategic component sets the direction for the Department through 2010. The strategic component is the driving force for the other two components (inventory/evaluation and operational).

This document is compiled into three chapters. Chapter One explains the Planning process and reasons for developing it. Chapter One also explains how the Department developed the strategic component.

Chapter Two provides a perspective of the North Dakota Game and Fish Department to help the reader understand the responsibilities given to the Department through the State Constitution and legislative process. Chapter Two also identifies the policies that guide Department operations to provide fish and wildlife populations for public use and enjoyment.

Chapter Three contains plans for the Department identified programs. These plans not only set direction, but provide targets against which the Department's future progress can be measured. The programs are separated into four emphasis areas: hunting/trapping, fishing, habitat, and stewardship and enjoyment.
