Can I enter test records and explore specific CED modules without an “Office/Name Agency or Organization” or “Approving Official”?

Yes, users can register for a test account by going through the traditional registration process. When completing your account and filling out your profile, select the appropriate “Agency/Conservation Partner”. If no offices or approving officials exist the “Office/Name of Agency or Organization” will default to ‘DEMONSTRATION USER ACCESS ONLY’ and the “Approving Official” will default to ‘Lief Wiechman’ (CED Team Lead). If other offices and approving officials are available under your “Agency/Conservation Partner” you can still select the ‘Demonstration User’ from the list of available options to work directly with the CED team. Please contact the CED team conservationefforts@fws.gov and explain your situation and interest in the CED and the CED team may grant you demonstration user access to the site at that time.
