Draft 2018 Hunt Plan Documents for Public Comment
Sevilleta is continuing to complete habitat improvements to our refuge wetlands and riparian areas, until fall 2018. The refuge's wetland units A and B are closed to ensure public safety. The ongoing improvements will enhance future hunting and wildlife opportunities! Follow our website's Visitor Activities - Hunting page for updates.

Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge is fortunate to have a wonderful Friends Group, Amigos de la Sevilleta, whose members volunteer their time to assist refuge staff in achieving the mission of the wildlife refuge. The Organization is a non-profit group and welcomes new members. Members make Amigos possible and membership is open to all. Amigos de la Sevilleta raises money through member’s fees and special events. Grants and nature store sales also contribute. They help by volunteering in a variety of jobs at the refuge. They educate people about the refuge through their newsletter, on tours, during activities at the refuge and at events in the surrounding communities. Amigos members may also help with refuge management programs, habitat restoration projects, and the Gunnison's prairie dog reintroduction program. For more information on how you can assist the refuge, go to the Get Involved page linked in the right hand navigation menu.
