Roseburg 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 Roseburg, OR, our southwest 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 southwest Oregon? While the projects are many, we can break things down into some general categories:
• Restoring and Maintaining Healthy Ecosystems
• Species Recovery: for those already in danger
• Species Conservation: to keep them from becoming in danger
• Partnerships
North Bank Habitat Management Area
The USFWS coordinates with Roseburg Bureau of Land Management and Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife on the management of the Nort Bank Habitat Management Area (NBHA) for the benefit of the recovered distinct population segment (DPS) of the Columbian white-tailed deer. The acquisition and management of the NBHMA was instrumental in delisting the Douglas county population in 2003.
Species of Southwest Oregon
From the iconic, to the sensitive, to the just plain interesting, we've highlighted some of the species with which we work most closely in southwest Oregon. Take a look and be as amazed as we are at the tremendous diversity.
