Hello Tweeters,
If you’re at all interested in non-game wildlife in Washington, please consider applying for a position on this advisory council. It’s one of the most active and respected advisory councils working with the WDFW. (The Diversity Division in WDFW is involved with all non-game wildlife including invertebrates, amphibians, birds, mammals, etc. The current council members include folks from a diverse set of backgrounds, including academia, Audubon (and those renamed orgs) societies, Conservation Northwest, etc., as well as others not affiliated with any one particular organization.)
May all your birds be identified,
Denis DeSilvis

WDFW Director Kelly Susewind will appoint or re-appoint up to 20 members to the advisory council, with the intent for at least one third of the appointees to be new members.

All members of the public are invited to apply regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, language proficiency, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, status as a veteran, or basis of disability.
To ensure the council represents a diversity of views, WDFW especially encourages applicants who can represent tribes, urban and rural communities, agricultural and timbered landscapes, eastern and western Washington, land trusts, hunters, anglers, wildlife enthusiasts, academia, and conservation organizations. Applicants can be affiliated with an organized group, but affiliation is not required.
