During the week of May 26, 2025, Federally-Recognized Tribes Extension Program (FRTEP) representatives met in Fort Collins, CO, to learn about USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), its programs, and services.  APHIS is a multi-faceted Agency that is responsible for protecting U.S. animal and plant health and animal welfare.
 
The 3-day workshop highlighted APHIS issues and services of interest to the Tribes, such as animal disease traceability, funding opportunities, emergency response, and wildlife and pest management.  Off-site visits included the USDA’s National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation and the National Wildlife Research Center. Fourteen FRTEP representatives and Tribal representatives attended the event. The workshop was hosted by APHIS and Indian Nation Conservation Alliance (INCA).
