A meeting for new volunteers will be held Saturday, Sept. 4 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the refuge visitor center. The meeting will cover volunteer opportunities and upcoming activities, with the latter part of the session being a tour of the Refuge.

Volunteers are also needed to provide environmental education programs for school groups, conduct refuge tours, provide trail and landscaping maintenance, and help with highway cleanups. Volunteers may be called upon for special wildlife projects throughout the year.
The Visitor Center, which is open all year long during the week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., will reopen on weekends starting Sept. 4. Weekend hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will remain open on the weekends through Dec. 5.
