Welcome to Wisconsin’s Local Wildlife Vocalizations!

The Wildlife Society is collecting short personal perspectives from people in the field of wildlife through an initiative called ‘Wildlife Vocalizations’. This allows writers and readers to reflect on the past while looking towards the future. A collective effort to provide voices representing a common theme of tenacity, perseverance, ingenuity, and passion. 

Inspired by this initiative, the Wisconsin Chapter collaborated with the national organization to create ‘Local Wildlife Vocalizations,’ where we can represent and highlight our own local wildlifers, members and nonmembers alike. Our hope is to bring our community and membership together, showing that you are not alone in the wildlife field.

Are you a parent juggling both professional and personal commitments? Is your educational and personal background different from the predominant, consumptive wildlife stakeholder? Do you identify as a member of an underrepresented group in our profession? We want to hear YOUR story!

If you are interested in sharing your short personal perspective or nominating someone you know, please select or share this link to the form. We are hoping to provide an anonymous, automated nomination process soon. In the meantime, if you would like to give someone a nudge to participate, please send Kelly an email.

These perspectives will be published in the WCTWS Intelligent Tinkering, our website, and on social media. You will also have the option for it to be published on wildlife.org! Click here to read previously published Wildlife Vocalizations from the national organization.
