Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed a comprehensive Natural Resource Management Plan (NRMP) that replaces the Wildlife Management Plan (WMP). The NRMP builds on the solid foundation established by the WMP and addresses virtually all known issues concerning natural resources on site at the Laboratory. The NRMP also establishes “adaptive management” as the method for continual improvement within the Natural Resources program. The development of the NRMP utilized the assistance of a Technical Advisory Group consisting of individuals from local land management agencies, technical experts, Lab employee representatives, and representatives of the general public.

This group met periodically to advise the natural resource manager, evaluate success, and recommend changes to the program. Due to time and budget constraints, the group no longer meets.  However, communication of issues is maintained between all parties.  Annual reports required under the NRMP provide information on the implementation and progress made under the plan. Minor updates to the plan are incorporated, as necessary, in the annual reports. A full evaluation of the plan and re-write is scheduled every five years. The next full evaluation of the NRMP is scheduled to begin in January 2009.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
