Hunting Regulations
The mission of the Friends of the Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges is to provide active advocacy and physical support for the successful stewardship of the Refuges.
In order to support this stewardship, the Friends of Lower Suwannee will promote awareness of these refuges, their habitats and their work, assist the scientific conservation and preservation efforts of the refuges, and advocate responsible habitat use. Thus education, volunteering, and advocacy will be the primary activities of this organization. Funds will be generated to accomplish this goal.

Refuge Bat House
The Refuge has a bat house at 16450 NW 31st Place, Chiefland, Florida 32626. It is directly on the dogleg of the Refuge’s entrance drive. The best viewing times for bats are after sunset just as it starts getting too dark to see. You can park in front of the fence and watch them pour out. You might also see a resident hawk sitting nearby waiting for a meal or a snake curled around the support pillars. Enjoy the sights and as always do not handle, roll around in, or consume the guano beneath the bat house."
