National wildlife refuges serve many purposes, and one of our most important roles is as an outdoor classroom to teach about wildlife and natural resources. Many refuges offer environmental education programs for a variety of audiences. Refuges provide unique and exciting outdoor environments – excellent locations for hands-on learning activities. Thousands of youth and adult groups visit refuges every year throughout the United States to learn about wildlife, habitats, or ecological processes.
Refuge staff present programs in the classroom, or in the field, on the National Wildlife Refuge System and its resources. For more information please contact the refuge manager at (662) 226-8286.
