Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Oregon Chapter of the Wildlife Society is an affiliated state chapter of the Wildlife Society, an international organization. The Oregon Chapter was formed in 1965 "to provide for communication between practicing wildlife biologists". The Chapter supports wildlife students and professionals in Oregon, promotes stewardship of wildlife and their habitats through the use of up-to-date, science-based information, and increases public awareness and appreciation of wildlife. The Wildlife Society international organization was established in 1937.
