Ready... Set… Travel

To a National Wildlife Refuge

Summer means a chance to unwind and hit the road with the kids or your sweetie. For cheap thrills, plan a summer trip around a national wildlife refuge.  Refuge stopovers get an enthusiastic thumbs up from this travel website:  http://bit.ly/19IHgtN

Of course, any season is the right season to get outdoors and enjoy a wildlife refuge. But if you want a wide choice of free or low-cost public outdoor events – catering to most every taste – now is a great time.

See wildlife you don’t usually see. Fish, hike, paddle… or just enjoy nature. Visit a historic lighthouse or pioneer cabin. Learn how the Refuge System is protecting your natural heritage.
