Painting and Drawing

At Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge

Painting, drawing, and journaling are not just a relaxing activity for many, it can also be a great teaching tool for educators and group leaders. For this reason, we encourage visitors to take the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge through painting, drawing, or nature journaling. 

We strongly encourage educators, youth leaders, and scout leaders to consider the Junior Duck Stamp Art and Design Contest. It provides a science-based arts curriculum that emphasizes conservation of wetlands and waterfowl for students in grades K-12. 

During the winter months, the refuge will host virtual paint parties. Please follow our Facebook Page for the latest information.
