You can help support the Friends of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge by making a donation this Giving Tuesday!

By donating to the Friends of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, you get to support a group of hardworking dedicated volunteers, staff, and supporters who work diligently to make the distinctive programs of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge come to life. Donate to the Friends HERE or on our website, become a member or renew, or sign up to volunteer. Because every little bit makes a difference.

We hope to raise $3,500 during #GivingTuesday to support our Habitat Restoration and Cultural & Environmental Education programs. If 100 of our Friends each give $35, we can reach our goal of $3,500 in no time!

$3,500 would help us complete the Oak Restoration Project on the Carty Unit!

Give your tax-deductible gift on December 3rd and support our work.

You can donate your time! Volunteers are always appreciated on the Refuge. Head to our website for information on how you can help.

“It’s everything. What it represents to the wildlife, community, me as an individual person, and the place itself. It’s beautiful and tranquil. People who visit are good and respectful to the refuge and to each other. Once I saw the refuge, closed the deal on me moving to my house. I found my home. Thank you and all the volunteers for the work you do for us and the wildlife. ❤️” – Daisy Chesterfield
