From the Editor

By Sue Hix, Friends of Sherburne NWR (MN) Editor, The Link

Mother Nature refreshes herself every spring, and this year The Link is also showing off a new look. To attract new readers and tempt those already on our mailing list to open, read, and learn, we are focusing more on photos and less on text—but with links to more information for those who are interested. So please read on, click as desired, share this message with Friends—and ENJOY!

Innovative—and successful—Friends outreach events:

• Try bowling with the Friends of Tualatin River NWRC

• Get banded at Loonapalooza with the Friends of Seney NWR

• Spend A Night at the Museum with Friends of Alaska NWRs

New opportunities for Friends:

• Learn how to join in the new Friends SHARE sessions being offered by the Coalition of Refuge Friends and Advocates

• Read about the National Wildlife Refuge Association’s 2024 O’Brien Prize—and how to apply 

Happy Spring!
