Mission

The Friends of Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge private citizens gathered into a non-profit organization for the purpose of helping the refuge meet its goals. We also promote conservation and appreciation of the outdoors, and awareness of the needs of the natural environment and its inhabitants. We work hard to build community awareness regarding the needs of the refuge, as well as to communicate to the community the opportunities for outdoor education and recreation available through the refuge. We're even involved in educational opportunities for local schools and youth organizations, and offer opportunities for Eagle Scouts, FFA, and 4H members to plan and carry out projects so we can assist them in meeting their goals.
