Welcome to the WCNR Department of Fish, Wildlife & Conservation Biology 
The Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology serves students and varied constituencies through learning, research and outreach. We teach students to think critically about environmental issues, and become ecologically literate citizens with the training to be successful in graduate school and in careers with natural resources agencies, firms, and NGOs.
We expand the frontiers of knowledge through our broad-based expertise in applied ecology, quantitative methods, and human dimensions in the conservation and management of fish and wildlife. Our outreach efforts contribute significantly to life-long learning by assisting individuals and agencies to solve complex environmental problems and to be good stewards of our nation's natural resources.

Professors Honored for Work on Northern Spotted Owl
Three emeritus professors in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology (David Anderson, Gary White, and Ken Burnham) were honored by researchers who have collected data on the Northern Spotted Owl over the past 2 decades (Bob Anthony, Eric Forsman, and Joe Lint also received the award). This unique award from peers was “in recognition of [their] exceptional leadership and intellectual contribution to the long term conservation of the Northern Spotted Owl.” These 3 faculty have provided important leadership and expertise in analyzing northern spotted owl demography data from the Pacific NW at workshops that began in 1993 and have occurred every 5 years with the 4th and most recent occurring 9-18 Jan 2009 at Oregon State University.
