We all know that our National Wildlife Refuge system provides some of the finest opportunities for viewing wildlife and the plants and other biodiversity that make up their habitats, but I would argue that it can be a serious mistake to head home prematurely after a day of hunting, birdwatching, or photographing, as refuges also provide some of the best sunset watching opportunities anywhere.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has adopted various strategies for better addressing this threat and recently held several weed prioritization workshops across the Mid-Columbia River and Central Washington national wildlife refuge complexes.
