Butterflies Find Haven at Southern Oregon Golf Club

Wildlife on the fairway can be a hazard of the wrong kind. Yet, managers of the Stewart Meadows Golf Course in Medford are creating gardens to attract them. By creating five 'Monarch Waystations', the 9-hole golf course in Southern Oregon will provide native milkweed and nectar plants to support monarchs and other pollinators. This effort, the first in the Pacific Northwest, will use best management practices to be responsible with water consumption and to limit the use of pesticides and fertilizer. Learn more about this effort and how our partners are providing a future filled with monarchs.

Welcome to Shark Week July 22 - 28

Few species promote a response as emotional, and occasionally irrational, as the shark. As an apex predator, shark species have a history predating dinosaurs and a diverse, intense following rooted in the cultural, scientific, and media worlds. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is committed to working with others to provide suitable habitat and protection to ensure this species is around for the continuing benefit of the American public.
