Background. The Roseburg Field Office was established 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.

• Partnerships. We develop partnerships with federal, state, tribal, county, municipal, and private entities in Southwest Oregon to develop and implement conservation and species recovery projects.

Current Activities.

• Species Recovery. We are working with our partners to recover our area’s imperiled plant and wildlife species, including Cook's lomatium, Gentner's fritillary, Kincaid's lupine, large-flowered woolly meadowfoam, McDonald's rockcress, rough popcornflower, western lily, marbled murrelet, northern spotted owl, and vernal pool fairy shrimp.

• North Bank Habitat Management Area (NBHMA): The USFWS has coordinated with BLM, Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, and Oregon Dept. of Agriculture at the NBHMA to accomplish recovery of the Columbian white-tailed deer and the rough popcornflower.  The acquisition and management of the NBHMA was instrumental in delisting the deer in 2003.  Rough popcornflower populations introduced to the NBHMA have also contributed significantly to the plant's recovery.
  

• Conservation in the Agate Desert. We are in the process of developing a regional mitigation and conservation banking strategy for the Agate Desert vernal pool areas in Jackson county.

• Vernal Pool Information Network (VPIN).  The USFWS in conjunction with Rogue Valley Council of Governments are co-sponsoring a series of information sessions for folks interested in learning more about conservation of vernal pool ecosystems in the Rogue Valley/Agate Desert area.  Click here for VPIN content that will be posted soon after each session.  
  

• ESA Consultations. We provide consultation for our action agency counterparts: Army Corps of Engineers, USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the Tribes in southwest Oregon for actions that may affect listed species.
  

• Watershed Restoration.
  - Dam removal coordination: Savage Rapids Dam, Elk Creek Dam, Gold Hill Dam, and Gold Ray Dam.
  - Stream enhancement: Jackson Creek, Hinkle Creek, and Clearwater Creek.

• Upland Restoration.
  Mildred Kanipe County Park. We have funded extensive oak woodland restoration through our Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program.

• Our Community Involvement.
