The WDFW Budget and Policy Advisory Group was established to advise the department on a wide range of issues, including future budget requests and policy proposals, options for improving public engagement, and strategic planning.
At the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, we celebrate diverse individuals who bring a wide range of perspectives. All are welcome to participate in our processes regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, status as a veteran, and basis of disability.
