Friends of Noxubee Refuge Charity Profile

The stated mission of FONR is to promote conservation, awareness, and appreciation of the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge and to provide assistance to refuge programs.

Friends of Noxubee Refuge was founded May 1, 2003, by concerned area citizens. It is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization interested in assisting Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge.

We are part of a nationwide network of Friends groups that support our national wildlife refuges and the National Wildlife Refuge System carry out public use missions including education, interpretation, and wildlife-oriented recreation.

Friends of Noxubee Refuge Volunteer Information

Friends volunteer many hours working on special and on-going projects in cooperation with refuge staff. Activities include helping with educational programs, trail work, and public use activities, such as Saturdays at the Refuge.

Additional volunteers are needed to keep the store open during weekends and on days when special activities are scheduled, such as the National Wildlife Refuge Week celebration.

Volunteering at the Visitor Center is a great way of helping the refuge. Friends staff the front desk and Nature Store.

It is also a wonderful way to meet new people, make new friends and enjoy the beauty of the refuge. Volunteers are always needed, and you can do as much or as little as you want. Training is available.
