Junior Refuge Manager Program
New at the refuge! Young visitors can now learn about the refuge and become a Junior Refuge Manager! Ask for the "Junior Refuge Manager Field Journal" activity book at the Visitor Center information desk, and begin your refuge exploration! Activities are varied and appropriate for preschoolers (with parental help) and up. If you complete your Field Journal and return to the Visitor Center during business hours (Tues - Sun, 10am - 4pm), young managers will be sworn in and receive a unique wooden Blackwater Junior Manager badge!
Please note: Because Junior Refuge Manager activities are unique to Blackwater NWR and must be completed on-site, Field Journals will not be mailed out.
