Part III response or note to any other line in Part III The mission of the Friends of the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex is to: - PROMOTE the conservation of the natural resources of the refuge complex. - FOSTER awareness and appreciation of the refuge complex through educational and recreational opportunities. - PARTICIPATE in activities that help the refuge complex achieve its goals.Achievements:The FWVNWRC operates the Wild Goose Nature Store, an all-volunteer nature store at the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge where we sell nature and conservation-related items to the visiting public. The proceeds are used to fund our basic operating and project costs. The store volunteers also provide information and interpretation to refuge visitors during weekend open hours when few refuge staff are available. The FWVNWRC presents monthly information and outreach events at diverse locations during the fiscal year, both on refuge and offsite, to educate the public about our local wildlife refuges and natural resources. The FWVNWRC is participating in a partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Salem Audubon Society to build and operate the new nature center at the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge. We provided oak conferences tables for the indoor classroom made out of native white oak tres that had to be removed from the site. The Nature Center is now open for public use. Currently the partnership is building the Dave Marshall Outdoor Classroom on the Nature Center site.The FWVNWRC has provided funding for the gate for the Dave Marshall Outdoor Classroom, skylights for the classroom, and entrance signs for the Ankeny Refuge and for the Ankeny Hill Nature Center. Along with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and private donor, the FWVNWRC provided funds for the purchase of a no-till seed drill for use complex-wide.
