Ways to Get Involved
Whether you want to further conservation, learn more about nature, or share your love of the outdoors, you’ve come to the right place. National wildlife refuges provide many opportunities for you to help your community by doing what you love. National wildlife refuges partner with volunteers, youth groups, landowners, neighbors and residents of urban and rural communities to make a lasting difference. Find out how you can help make American lands healthier and communities stronger while doing something personally satisfying.

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.
Outreach
Do you have a youth or adult group who would like an educational program? We work with local schools and community groups to offer programs on the Refuge or at your location. Our environmental education or wilderness safety programs are tailored to fit your groups needs. Contact Becca Frager, the Complex Visitor Services manager, at rebecca_frager@fws.gov to learn more.
