Refuge Week Events
Refuge Week, celebrated each year in the first week of October, provides an opportunity to for all of us to reflect on the importance of the National Wildlife Refuge System and to join together to celebrate these national treasures.
.
  This year, your Friends group has joined with the Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex to celebrate Refuge Week by inviting the founder of the refuge system and our 26th President, Teddy Roosevelt (in the person of Joe Wiegand) to join us.  Joe performs around the country (including at The White House) and will share with us his insights into the heart and mind of one of our most colorful presidents.

Come join your friends and neighbors to help us celebrate!!!!
