RGS & AWS began in 1961 in Monterey, VA. Now headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, our organization employs a team of forest wildlife conservation professionals to work with private landowners, and government, including local, state and federal, land managers who are interested in improving their land for Ruffed Grouse, American Woodcock and the other songbirds and wildlife that have similar requirements.
RGS works with landowners and government agencies to develop critical habitat utilizing scientific management practices. We do this with individualized attention with specific programs to help landowners and by working with local state and federal governments to develop land management assistance programs.
