Asset Management Plan

1. Service Mission, Organization Structure and Support

 The Service’s mission is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.


The Service manages the 96-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS), which encompasses 545 National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs), thousands of small wetlands, and other special management areas. It also operates 69 National Fish Hatcheries, 64 fishery resource offices, and 81 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance program that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agencies.

The Service has the privilege of being the primary agency responsible for the protection, conservation, and renewal of these resources for this and future generations. We accept this responsibility and challenge with optimism and resolve to pass along to future generations of stewards a fish and wildlife resource heritage that is stronger than when it was entrusted to us.



The Service employs approximately 10,000 permanent and temporary staff and is supported by citizens volunteering approximately 1.4 million hours. Although the Service is headquartered in Washington, D.C., over 90% of the workforce is located in communities across the nation at over 700 field stations supported by seven regional offices. The Service continues to focus on building and maintaining relationships with a broad array of stakeholders, including the states, tribes, community groups, and other organizations due to our involvement at the community level.
Most field stations are small offices with few staff. Many are located in small towns or remote places to ensure proximity to the resources they manage. Over 67% of field stations (451 locations) have less than 10 people assigned. This is a factor in asset management because many of our field stations utilize small facilities. The service owns 434 office buildings with a median size of 2,240 square feet, and owns only 15 office buildings over 10,000 square feet. The chart below provides additional specifics
