Dedicated to the Study of Vertebrate Ecology in the Pacific Northwest
Welcome
The Society for Northwestern Vertebrate Biology is the longest running scientific association devoted to the study of vertebrate ecology in the Pacific Northwest. Our society strives to promote professional working relationships among ornithologists, mammalogists, herpetologists, and ichthyologists in our region.
Please explore our website and be sure to check out our flagship publication, Northwestern Naturalist. If you share our passion for learning about the natural history and ecology of the Pacific Northwest consider attending our annual meeting, a great place to meet new people while learning about research that is currently being conducted in our region.
The Joint Annual Meeting is a partnership with the Washington Chapter of The Wildlife Society (WATWS), The Society for Northwestern Vertebrate Biology (SNVB) and Northwest Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (NWPARC).
This joint meeting will cover the latest advancements in wildlife habitat connectivity, waterfowl research and management, pollinator conservation, herpetofaunal diseases, turtle conservation and research, forest landscape management, updates on the status of imperiled species, and more!
You can look forward to engaging plenary speakers, a comprehensive technical program, hands-on workshops, field trips to local conservation projects, ample networking opportunities, and more!
