History & Mission

The Wildlife Society (TWS), founded in 1937, is an international non-profit scientific and educational association dedicated to excellence in wildlife stewardship through science and education. Our mission is to enhance the ability of wildlife professionals to conserve diversity, sustain productivity, and ensure responsible use of wildlife resources for the benefit of society. The Washington Chapter encourages research and professional growth through grants, workshops, annual meetings, and undergraduate scholarships.

Student Chapters

The state of Washington includes two student chapters – the University of Washington Student Chapter and the Washington State University Student Chapter.

Awards

The Board of WA-TWS believes it is appropriate to clarify existing awards and to institute additional categories of awards to help recognize accomplishments in our field. Not all awards will be given every year; it will depend on nominations from our members. Our goal is to provide additional opportunities to encourage and recognize such achievement.
