The Society is the oldest scientific association devoted to the study of terrestrial vertebrates in the Pacific Northwest.
Founded in 1920 as the Pacific Northwest Bird and Mammal Society, the Society has long been recognized as the pre-eminent
union of ornithologists and mammalogists in this region. In 1988 the Society adopted its current name, the Society for Northwestern
Vertebrate Biology, to reflect a newly expanded taxonomic scope that included reptiles, amphibians, and (in 1999) fish. The
Society endeavors to promote close working relationships among professional and amateur ornithologists, mammalogists, herpetologists,
and fisheries biologists in the Northwest. The Society encourages a free exchange of scientific information and fosters interest
in the scientific study of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes in this region. The society offers a forum for
these activities through meetings and a published journal.
