Abstract
The level of success of any conservation plan is limited by the willingness of all managers to support the practices outlined within the plan. The goal of this project was to develop a document that could be distributed to private land owners within and around the Barry State game Area that would encourage them to manage their land in ways that are consistent with the conservation goals of the game area. The contents of this document were determined based on current land uses and management goals of the private land owners. It includes information on the species in and around the game area and management practices that would be beneficial to those species. Also included is a brief description of some resources that are available to land owners to help them meet their conservation goals.
