2024 Karner Blue Butterfly Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) Annual Report |

Personally identifiable information collected will be used for program administration and may be provided to requesters as required by Wisconsin's Open Records law [ss. 19.31-19.39, Wis. Stats.].
The annual report ensures that HCP partners are minimizing impacts to Karner blue butterflies during the course of their routine work and are supporting the continued existence of Karners on their land.
All partners of the Karner Blue Butterfly Habitat Conservation Plan are required to complete and submit to the department an annual report of activities conducted under the Federal Fish and Wildlife Permit TE010064-6 by March 1st.

Failure to submit timely, complete and/or accurate annual reports jeopardizes the continuation of the HCP program in Wisconsin. Without the HCP program, each partner would need to apply to the USFWS for an individual incidental take permit, which is a time consuming process. We appreciate your attention to meet the March 1st deadline and effort to maintain the HCP program.
