• A broad assessment of current habitat conditions and improvement efforts;
• A collective vision for Eagle County with respect to wildlife and this process;
• Public engagement and communication to support the collective vision;
• Species, ecosystems, and communities to focus on for the project;
• Threats to identified species;
  Aspects of wildlife management that can be improved;
• Data gaps or research needs that would help inform recommendations;
• Actionable recommendations and implementation where possible; and Identification of resources necessary to implement next steps.
