The Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Wildlife Friendly Guidelines are intended to provide community and project planners the necessary information and tools to help protect wildlife and wildlife habitat in and around their planning area. The guidelines serve as a general reference for wildlife information, and they include steps to take during planning and Department recommendations. This document will provide an important opportunity for the Department to facilitate statewide wildlife conservation efforts and coordination in light of Arizona’s continuing population growth and community development.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department’s vision of a ‘wildlife friendly’ Arizona includes interconnected networks of large wildland blocks supporting viable populations of all native species, while providing ample opportunity for people to enjoy and benefit from the presence of wildlife. These guidelines are intended to be updated periodically with the most recent information, so check back to ensure you have the most recent copy. Click on the link below to view the guidelines.
