Background. The Roseburg Field Office was established by the (Portland) Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office in 1995 to help implement the Northwest Forest Plan and carry out the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's mission in southwest Oregon.  Since that time we have been working with the local community to advance conservation and have significantly contributed to the recovery and restoration of species and habitats in our area.

Jurisdiction. The office's area of responsibility extends to five Oregon counties: Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine.

Office Location.  Our office is located at the northwest corner of Stewart Parkway and Edenbower roads in Roseburg, Oregon.  (View map.) We are co-located with the Umpqua National Forest and the National Marine Fisheries Services.
