Our Partners

Nature does not recognize human-made boundaries. In order to conserve our natural and cultural resources effectively, we must work with others to bridge these boundaries. Partnerships foster creative solutions to challenging situations and often the results are greater than the sum of the parts.

Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge partners with local universities to perform research.

We also have local conservation partners to help work on projects to accomplish management goals.

We extend our reach through the work of the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program.

Outreach

Visitors are encouraged to contribute to citizens science projects like found on ebird and iNatualist.
