The refuge staff, volunteers, and partners regularly conduct interpretive programs and activities that enables visitors to connect to nature, wildlife, and the refuge lands. Schools and organizations may call to schedule a guided program which includes a guided walk on one of our nature trails.
Some of our trails have interpretive panels along the route providing information about wildlife on the refuge. We also offer self-guided audio tours on Feeder Road and Swallow Hollow trails which were developed by Friends of Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge, Inc. Using your cell phone to scan a QR code you can learn more about the history, ecology, and wildlife for certain points along the trail.
The Visitor Center has exhibits capturing the essence of Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge as an ecological "puzzle piece" in western New York. This self-guided center contains interpretive and interactive displays, historical artifacts, live fish, and nest camera feeds that can help you learn about the refuge and its resources.
All programs are free and open to the public! To find out about upcoming programs, check out the EVENTS tab. You can also contact the refuge (585-948-5445) or visit the Friends of Iroquois NWR page.
