The Indiana Ecological Services Field Office works to protect and conserve endangered and threatened species, migratory birds, inter-jurisdictional fish, and their habitats across the state. Our strategy for conservation relies on engaging with partners, focusing on implementing conservation on the ground, and reaching out to foster an appreciation of fish and wildlife and habitat among all Hoosiers.
Visits to our office should be coordinated in advance directly through the staff member(s) you are currently working with or contact us at 812-334-4261 or IndianaFO@fws.gov.

About
The Indiana Ecological Services Field Office was established in Bloomington in the late 1970s to conserve federal trust resources (migratory birds, endangered species, and certain fish populations) throughout the state, from the natural lakes area of northern Indiana to the limestone hills and bluffs along the shores of the Ohio River. We conduct recovery efforts for federally listed species, review federally funded projects to ensure compliance with federal wildlife laws, respond to oil spills and investigate fish and wildlife impacts at contaminated sites, and work with the wind energy industry to identify and reduce bat mortality at wind energy facilities.
