Official page of the University of Maine's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Conservation Biology.
The Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Conservation Biology offers programs that cover a wide breadth of wildlife science including wildlife ecology/biology, fisheries, conservation biology, and wildlife management. Undergraduates also can focus on individual interests such as fisheries, management of rare and endangered species, forestry, environmental education, and many others areas. Our graduate students pursue research on a wide variety of ecological and conservation issues in Maine, the nation, and internationally.
There also are three federal biologists with the U.S. Geological Survey on the faculty. The U.S.G.S. faculty are part of the Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, which brings together the University of Maine, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to foster wildlife research and graduate education.
