The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the state's diverse fish and wildlife populations and their habitats. As part of its ongoing efforts, WDFW organizes events such as public meetings to engage the community in significant projects, notably the revision of the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), updated every ten years to maintain eligibility for conservation funding. The upcoming virtual meeting on August 28 will discuss the 2025 SWAP revision process, allowing public participation and input on this critical initiative.

WDFW offers a wide array of services, including licensing for fishing and hunting, habitat recovery programs, and recreational opportunities that promote environmental stewardship. They also focus on education regarding wildlife management and conservation actions aimed at protecting Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Committed to accessibility, WDFW ensures that all community members can engage in their programs, making information and resources readily available.
