Office of Applied Science Fish and wildlife research

Science in action
In the Office of Applied Science, our name is our mission. We operate within the Division of Fish, Wildlife and Parks to pursue high priority research that informs the management and conservation of Wisconsin's fish and wildlife. Our team of research scientists and field technicians works to supply the DNR and stakeholders with objective, applied scientific information to support their decision making and to assist in the responsible stewardship of Wisconsin's natural resources.
In the field
Our staff is constantly clocking hours in the field, rain or shine, collecting data for dozens of ongoing projects. Watch the video below to get a glimpse of the field work taking place across the state. For more OAS and DNR videos, visit the DNR's YouTube page.
What we do
Work in OAS encompasses a broad range of landscape-scale and species-specific work on land and in our waters. We share our findings in research publications and reports and we dedicate time to consulting within the DNR and with customers on issues from walleye counts to grouse habitat and everything in between.
