WFW Home - Watershed, Fish, Wildlife, Air & Rare Plants

Welcome to the Forest Service - Watershed, Fish, Wildlife, Air & Rare Plants program web site. We cover a wide variety of topics and we are located across the nation. Our staff provides support and coordination to the public and the agency regions, forests and districts.

This web site will give you a taste of our diversity and is designed for our various customers. We laid things out by topic with multiple paths to each topic.

If you want to understand our administrative layout select the "staff" link on the left hand navigations. The search engine takes you through the whole agency, not just our staff pages. If you want to find specific staffs, you need to add the word "staff" to the search. Or try "advanced" searches once you have done your initial search. You are also welcome to contact any of our staff or web site administrator directly.

Our official staff acronym is WFW. You may also see WFWARP on some of our pages or in communication with staff members.

THANK YOU PARTNERS!

To all our Partners -- Thank you for your hard work

implementing these conservation projects;
planning future projects;
developing partnerships; and
reporting your accomplishments and opportunities.

The Partnership Report - 2004*, the Find a Photo library, and WFRP-MS, available on the internet, would not be possible without our partners' work. These tools and products will help accomplish more conservation work, and focus more effectively on work where several partners - and potential partners - share objectives.

The Deputy Chief of the National Forest System is officially announcing the availability of these three internet tools/products for use by both partners and the general public in this downloadable letter. This letter is being shared directly with our partners through our national, regional, forest and district program leaders and biologists.
