<br />General Comments - Habitat Management Document <br />Overall I find that the document contains a significant number of generalized statements <br />that could be over interpreted or misleading. It is apparent that the authors attempted to <br />address this by referencing the entity that provided the information. It is suggested that a <br />general statement be included in the document to encourage individuals to not over <br />interpret the information or draw firm conclusions unless definitive data support such <br />conclusions. I suggest the following language be added. "The information contained in <br />this document was obtained from a variety of sources and is intended to provide decision <br />makers with some general information regarding habitat management methods in the <br />Central Platte. In some cases the information was obtained based on casual observations <br />and/or was based on a very limited data set. Consequently, the information in this <br />document should not be considered prescriptive in terms of habitat management goals <br />and objectives and the conclusions stated should be viewed cautiously. Careful <br />consideration and site specific planning needs to occur when making decisions regarding <br />habitat acquisition and management. This document should simply be considered one <br />tool that can be consulted when making these difficult decisions." <br />More information on vegetation would be helpful. Data on percent cover, species <br />composition, and successional trends for managed and unmanaged lands in terms of <br />general objectives may aid decision makers. <br />3
