The Wildlife and Habitat Restoration Working Group (WHRWG) provides a forum for TWS members to share experiences, techniques, and information relative to restoring wildlife populations and degraded habitats. The WHRWG explores methods for implementing ecosystem management principles that enable whole communities to recover, and seeks to identify effective monitoring and evaluation programs to determine successes and failures of restoration techniques.
If you are interested in learning more about the working group, you can view the working group positions and descriptions in the Working Group Charter or contact a board member for more information. The WHRWG encourages any TWS member to take an active leadership role as a WHRWG officer, Board representative, or Committee Chairperson.
