Dear NELS Community,
My agency, the U.S. Department of the Interior, is hosting an event this Wednesday, Aug. 6 on the District of Columbia's Wildlife Action plan. This will be a special opportunity to learn about how the District's Department of Environment protects wildlife in this unique wildland-urban interface. Please read below for event details!
Alexandra Ritchie
The U.S. Department of the Interior Museum will host a talk and presentation by Mary Pfaffko. Ms. Pfaffko is a Wildlife Biologist for the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the District of Columbia’s Department of Environment and will speak about DC’s Wildlife Action Plan. Congress asked each state to develop a wildlife action plan to conserve wildlife and their habitat. DC’s plan is unique among the states as it strives to create a sustainable interface between wildlife and urbanization.
