We work for the perpetuation of diverse and abundant wildlife because biodiversity is essential to maintaining the health of our environment, our families, and our economy. We maintain a network of more than 150 million acres of public land. In order to best serve the needs of wildlife and people, we are split into eight geographic regions and nearly 700 field stations, with our headquarters located in Arlington, Virginia. Our strategy Our approach with social media takes cues from our agency structure and translates it into the digital space.
