Joshua W.D. Coursey joined the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service following 13 years as Founder and President/CEO of the Muley Fanatic Foundation (MFF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of mule deer and their habitat. Under his leadership, MFF evolved from a grassroots initiative into a nationally recognized conservation force, with active chapters in seven states, members in all 50 states, and more than 700 Life Members.
Coursey’s leadership earned him a respected voice in broader wildlife and hunting policy efforts. He co-chaired the state’s Chronic Wasting Disease Working Group in 2020, has served on the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition since 2017, and was a member of Governor Gordon’s Wyoming Wildlife Taskforce.
Joshua is a native of Wyoming, and serves as Senior Advisor to FWS Director Brian Nesvik. He was recently tasked by Director Nesvik to lead a comprehensive review of the National Wildlife Refuge System, its organization, its workforce, facilities and management structure.
As part of this review, he is seeking feedback and ideas from State Agencies and Partner organizations, including Refuge Friends Groups. This Webinar is an opportunity for the Refuge Friends Community to learn about this review and to understand how best to provide him with meaningful feedback.
