Department of Wildlife Conservation
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is an agency of the state of Oklahoma responsible for managing and protecting Oklahoma's wildlife population and their habitats. The Department is under the control of the Wildlife Conservation Commission, an 8-member board appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma with the approval of the Oklahoma Senate. All members serve eight-year terms. The Commission, in turn, appoints a Director to serve as the chief administrative officer of the Department.
The current Director of the Department of Wildlife Conservation is Richard Hatcher.
The Department was created in 1956 during the term of Governor Raymond D. Gary by an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution.
