A third of ODFW’s budget comes from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. Another third comes from the federal government through grants that are mostly tied to the sale of hunting and fishing equipment. Though ODFW manages fish and wildlife for all Oregonians, less than 5 percent of ODFW’s budget comes from Oregon’s general tax dollars and the lottery. Governance Oregon’s fish and wildlife policies are set by the Fish and Wildlife Commission, a seven-member volunteer board. Its monthly meetings are open to the public. Commission members are appointed by the Governor. The Commission appoints ODFW’s director. Curt Melcher was appointed as ODFW director February of 2015. Location and staff ODFW is headquartered in Oregon’s capitol city of Salem. The agency works through a regional management structure that allows for fish and wildlife management at the local, watershed level. Its local field offices are divided into two regions (West and East) with four to six watershed districts in each of those regions. Want to work for ODFW? Positions are advertised on our Jobs page.
