Mission
To promote the use, understanding, knowledge, growth, development, operation, and management of the Moosehorn NWR and the refuge system of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Why the Friends?
Wildlife and its habitat is under continual threat from a variety of development pressures including climate change. Young people are increasingly growing up with little contact with the natural world. And Federal and State budgets for wildlife, wildlands and outdoor recreation are declining. The Friends of Moosehorn works to increase local support for the Refuge, to encourage volunteer involvement in the ongoing work of the refuge including habitat management, wildlife monitoring and providing educational, interpretive, and recreational opportunities. Our support, as advocates, volunteers and fundraisers, enables the Refuge and its staff to continue to protect the wildlife, its habitat and the opportunities they provide for a wide variety of recreational and educational activities

What we do

•  Advocate for the continued support to the
  Refuge through outreach at local events.
•  Assist in organizing or leading events and
  programs such as a spring kids fishing derby,
  a winter carnival, fall foliage tours.
• Help with management activities such as
  wildlife monitoring and trail maintenance
•  Develop and produce interpretive materials
  such as guides to the best birding, hiking,
  fishing.
