Each year during the second week of October we celebrate our nation’s unique and wonderful national wildlife refuges with National Wildlife Refuge Week. In a non-COVID year, our wildlife refuges would be full of visitors this week--festivals, guided nature walks, and educational presentations in the Visitor’s Center. This year, we celebrate our nation’s refuges as individuals, with quiet moments on these special lands.
Finding Refuge During National Wildlife Refuge Week
During National Wildlife Refuge Week we celebrate the National Wildlife Refuge System and the diversity of imperiled species that call it home, reveal critical threats to refuges and their wildlife and look to the future of America's public lands network dedicated to our wildlife in our new report with Defenders of Wildlife, Finding Refuge.
