The National Wildlife Refuge Association would like to encourage all individuals, Refuge Friends groups, and other partner organizations to participate in uplifting wildlife refuges throughout the week, highlighting what makes them so special and important. National wildlife refuges are critical public lands not just for wildlife conservation, but also for enhancing biodiversity, climate mitigation and coastal resiliency, recreational opportunities, providing urban communities with access to nature, and much more.
