Behind every initiative or undertaking at the Refuge there is a group of dedicated professionals, volunteers, and supporters. We are very lucky to have a few special people whose generosity has been, and continues to be, instrumental in terms of success. Whether we consider wildlife initiatives or massive historical restorations like the historic lighthouse, when the need is there, these special people are also there.
The Friends organization is so grateful for the support these special Friends have shown. It is an honor for us to introduce them and share a little about how they are making a huge difference for the natural and cultural treasures at the Refuge.
