The Friends serve as a model for future Urban Wildlife Refuge support groups. Upholding the Urban Refuge Standards of Excellence, the Friends acts as a valuable community liaison. The Friends facilitate engagement and input during development of future Refuge programs and infrastructure and promote environmental and cultural awareness through public educational programs and recreational opportunities.
As one of the nation’s few urban wildlife refuges, Valle de Oro NWR creates a gateway for urban dwellers to connect with the broader conservation community, building engagement and support for the protection and conservation of lands beyond Albuquerque.
