Featured Project: The National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory

Six students worked in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Service Forensics Laboratory in Ashland to create a film documenting the lab’s mission - which is “to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.”

The student team spent several hours learning about the different departments at the Forensics Lab and how their processes are used to solve crimes against animals and plants. Their film melds interviews of lab personnel with informative facts and collected data on the illegal killing of animals. The documentary will be displayed in the lobby of the Forensics Laboratory to help educate the public about its role in preserving and protecting our nation’s fish and wildlife.
