Volunteerism
The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service depends heavily upon volunteer workers
to help us accomplish our mission.
With more than 36,000 volunteers contributing in excess of 1.4 million
hours of their time, skills and talents, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
(FWS) volunteer program is robust and continuing to grow. The tireless
efforts of our volunteers complete more than 20 percent of the work conducted
on national wildlife refuges alone. Volunteers play a vital role in helping
the FWS fulfill its mission
of conserving, protecting and enhancing America's fish, wildlife and plants
and the habitats on which they depend. We hope you will consider spending
time with us to help us help wildlife.
