RGS Regional Wildlife Biologists

Meet the RGS regional wildlife biologists...

who are responsible for implementing RGS' on-the-ground forest management and landowner and land manager education. Each biologist is also responsible for providing information for the Biological Program Annual Report as well as periodic Forest Action Network (FAN) newsletters and updates. Contact them about forest wildlife management in your region.

The current annual report is: RGS Biological Program: The 2009 Annual Report Summary.

RGS is in the midst of the Restoring Upland Forests' Future (RUFF) campaign to raise the funds necessary to fully endow these positions.
