National Wildlife Refuge Campaign

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has been working to protect and restore America's National Wildlife Refuges since 1984. With 540 Refuges across the country, these protected landscapes play a critical role in the larger network of important wildlife corridors by providing habitat for many species including migratory birds and waterfowl.

But the refuges aren’t just here for wildlife: they are here for all of us to use and enjoy. Refuges provide outstanding recreational and educational opportunities, and, because they are home to over 700 bird species and are vital stops along migratory routes, they are unparalleled for bird watching.

Here at NFWF, we work hard to protect the refuges so future generations can enjoy them. We’ve made Monomoy in Massachusetts and Cape May in New Jersey more hospitable to plovers, sandpipers, and terns by protecting critical habitat with fencing. We’ve got teams of volunteers monitoring bird populations at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and seabirds from Hawaii to Alaska are benefiting from our innovative habitat and species management plans.

We are working hard, but we can’t do this work without you! I hope you might consider making a gift to NFWF to keep those lands healthy and available for all of us to enjoy. And if that’s not enough incentive, if you give today, your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar, and your gift will go twice as far.
