Manulife will not renew its cooperative agreement with ODFW’s Access and Habitat program, the company informed ODFW late last week.

This means Manulife properties in northeast Oregon and Jackson County that are currently open to hunter access through the Access and Habitat "Welcome to Hunt" program will no longer be open for hunting through the program after May 31, 2026. Hunters applying for fall controlled hunts need to be aware of these changes as lands where they plan to hunt may require separate fees or be closed.

Hunters will need permission from Manulife to enter their property as of June 1, 2026. Manulife has informed ODFW that they intend to launch a fee permit program where hunters or other recreationists can purchase a permit to access their lands.
