Other Facilities in the Complex

Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is managed as part of the Central Sage Steppe Conservation Complex. A Conservation Complex is an administrative grouping of two or more refuges, wildlife management areas or Conservation Areas that are primarily managed from a central office location. Refuges are grouped into a complex structure because they occur in a similar ecological region, such as a watershed or specific habitat type, and have a related purpose and management needs. Typically, a project leader or complex manager oversees the general management of all refuges within the complex and refuge managers are responsible for operations at specific refuges. Supporting staff, composed of administrative, law enforcement, refuge manager, biological, fire, visitor services, and maintenance professionals, are centrally located and support all refuges within the complex.
