The Friends organization of St. Marks Wildlife Refuge is a non-profit volunteer group which supports the conservation, education, and preservation work of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. We work closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service team to support the precious wildlife of the St. Marks refuge. By funding education programs at local schools and awarding annual scholarships for college students pursuing environmental studies, we also encourage awareness of our natural resources. With donations from our Friends in the community, plus funds from the Nature Store operations, we finance research and educational projects, volunteer training, special events at the Refuge, and equipment for support programs.
