The Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) List is WDFW's primary catalog of species and habitats of conservation and management concern. For nearly two decades, PHS information has been a primary resource used in the conservation and protection of Washington's diverse fish and wildlife resources by landowners, cities, counties, and state and federal agencies. The PHS List has just undergone an extensive and thorough update and a new version is now available online. We encourage all users of our PHS resources to immediately replace old copies of the PHS List.
