In this difficult moment when forest industry products, like basic hygienic items, are in high demand, the RGS & AWS is actively working with partners in the critical industry of forestry to ensure that wildlife also have a voice during this crisis.

The Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society (RGS & AWS) provides its local chapters with the resources and professional expertise needed to foster habitat for these migratory birds. Regional chapters, like the newly assembled Jersey Shore chapter of the AWS, provide local knowledge and connections needed on the ground.
