The Fisheries Program stresses partnerships with States, Tribes, other governments, private organizations, public institutions and interested citizens in larger efforts - often crossing Interjurisdictional boundaries - to conserve these important resources. Outreach and communication is critically important. Ashland NFWCO employees are public servants, which places the American citizen as our customer. This is important to recognize when we go about our daily jobs. We establish programs, fulfill legislative mandates, and enforce laws to protect, manage and conserve fish and wildlife resources because the American public, through Congress, directed us to do just that. The American public expects us to do our job well. We must listen to learn of needs and then communicate our accomplishments. A public that knows we are listening, understands what we are doing and why, and understands what they can do to help, makes fulfilling our mission much easier.

The Ashland NFWCO welcomes questions or comments about fish and wildlife resources or about the programs of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Members of the staff are available for presentations to schools, civic groups, and others interested in fish and wildlife resources.
