The Service seeks input on a draft EIS and Barred Owl Management Strategy. Join us, Dec 4 or Dec 14, from 6pm-8pm PT for a presentation and opportunity to ask questions. Both public meetings cover the entire strategy but have somewhat different focuses. Dec 4 focuses on management within the northern spotted owl’s range; Dec 14 focuses on management within California spotted owl’s range. REGISTER HERE. If you have technical difficulties registering or joining the meeting, please email megan.stone@empsi.com. See the Barred Owl Management Webpage for more info.
Locations
Portland is home to the headquarters of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office. While staff from this office travel throughout the state, we also focus on the Portland metro area and surrounding Willamette Valley from this location.
Working Locally With You
So what is it we actually do in the Willamette Valley? While the projects are many, we can break things down into some larger categories:
- Restoring and Maintaining Healthy Ecosystems
- Species Recovery: for those already in danger
- Species Conservation: to hopefully avoid becoming in danger
- Partnerships
How We Can Help
The USFWS stays very busy in the Willamette Valley, working with citizens, businesses, local governments, and environmental organizations on a number conservation activities, including:
- Endangered Species Act Consultation
- Environmental Education
- Fish Passage
- Habitat Conservation Plans
- Energy Projects
- Urban Conservation

You can contact ODFW’s Wildlife Health Lab at 866-968-2600 or odfw.wildlifehealth@odfw.oregon.gov if you see multiple dead birds in the same location.
