La Grande Field Office
Conservation is a dish best served locally, which is why the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has staff located throughout the state of Oregon to work with you, right where you live, to conserve wildlife and their habitats for future generations.
Located in La Grande,OR , our Northeastern Oregon staff, many being from the area themselves, have a great knowledge and appreciation for the unique qualities and species of the area. They're ready to help with that tricky balance between the needs of wildlife and the needs of people, much of which you may find to be more alike than you thought.

Working Locally With You
So what is it we actually do in eastern Oregon? 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 eastern Oregon, working with citizens, businesses, local governments, and environmental organizations on a number conservation activities, including:
• Endangerd Species Act Consultation
• Conservation Education
• Species Monitoring
