The Western Forestry Graduate Research Symposium (WFGRS) and the Research Advances in Fisheries Wildlife and Ecology Symposium (RAFWE) are teaming up for one great event this year. The mission of this event is to create a supportive community for graduate students in the Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences department and the College of Forestry, to expand educational and professional development opportunities for our students and promote their work, and to promote the exchange of ideas in the field of ecology.
