LITTLE ROCK The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is hosting a monthly presentation on some of the latest conservation research with which it is involved titled, “Wild Science” for biologists, educators and the general public to enjoy.
Christopher Middaugh, research biologist for the AGFC’s Research Division, said the seminars will enable not only the public but partner agencies and even AGFC staff across the state to learn more about the many research projects with which the AGFC is engaged.
“The AGFC is constantly funding and participating in incredibly important work, but some of it may not be what you think of when you think of the agency,” Middaugh said. “Research on game species and their habitats gets highlighted often, but there is so much out there that field staff and biologists are involved in that may not receive the attention of those species. That work is just as vital to the AGFC’s mission. Webinar
