ALERTS:
- VOLUNTEER WITH US: We are seeking local (within 50 miles of the complex) volunteers who are excited about the opportunities to connect with the public out on the refuges and at our new Visitor Center. If you have a passion for connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds, telling stories and answering questions, plant/animal/bird identification, and more, this could be a great opportunity for you to join us. Visit our Get Involved page or apply directly to our opportunity on Volunteer.gov.
- PHOTORAPHY BLIND PROGRAM: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to offer use of our photo blinds for the 2024-2025 season. We appreciate your patience and support as we work towards creative solutions for 2025-2026. General information about the Photo Blind Program (when operational) can be found on our Photography page.
