Member contributions directly empower our crucial habitat restoration projects and invasive species removal efforts. Because of our dedicated supporters, we can continue our outreach and host public events that inspire and educate. These funds help provide the supplies for the Refuge’s educational programming and allow us to work together with our Partners to ignite a love for nature in the hearts of both the young and the young at heart.
By joining the ranks of our esteemed members with your contribution of $60 or more, you can not only show your dedication to the environment but also gain the opportunity to see the impact of your support firsthand with an optional Annual Refuge Pass to the Refuge. Be sure to take advantage of this pass to explore and connect with the land you’re helping to protect.
As a member, you’re the recipient of a member card with discounts to local businesses, and part of an exclusive group with access to behind-the-scenes experiences and early sign-ups for Friends-run events. These special events, like our beloved BirdFest & Bluegrass the first weekend of October, are not only a testament to the community you’ve joined but also to the tangible differences your membership makes.
*NEW!* The Friends now provide digital member cards, which come included in your receipt! You can now use your one-time business discounts from your phone. This choice was made to reduce paper waste, and save you space in your wallet! One less thing to keep track of and eventually throw away is better for everyone- especially the earth. (a physical member card can still be requested)
