As the only nonprofit solely dedicated to advocating on behalf of the National Wildlife Refuge System, the National Wildlife Refuge Association protects, promotes, and enhances America’s wildlife heritage through strategic programs that address refuge funding, management, and public engagement.
In South Florida, the Refuge Association leads the South Florida Urban Wildlife Refuge Project — a collaboration with the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and local partners. This initiative provides access to wildlife refuges and public lands, fosters environmental education, and supports green infrastructure and career pathways in conservation.
