Enhancing Texas Gulf Coast National Wildlife Refuges & The Lands Beyond Their Boundaries

The National Wildlife Refuge Association has been involved in projects to
assist national wildlife refuges and areas beyond their boundaries on the
Texas Gulf Coast for many years with an emphasis on conservation planning,
community engagement, and land acquisition. In the past, the National
Wildlife Refuge Association has been involved with projects focused on the
Texas Chenier Plain National Wildlife Refuge Complex, Aransas National
Wildlife Refuge, and the Bahia Grande Coastal Corridor benefiting Laguna
Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge.

It’s Our 47th Birthday!

Today, Saturday, January 8th, 2022 is the National Wildlife Refuge
Association’s 47th Birthday! That’s 47 years of protecting, promoting, and
enhancing the National Wildlife Refuge System, the world’s largest network
of lands and waters set aside for wildlife conservation.

On The Ground In The Greater Everglades Ecosystem & Southwest Florida

The National Wildlife Refuge Association has been active on the ground in
the Greater Everglades Ecosystem and Southwest Florida. Our work in
outreach, conservation science, and land protection has resulted in
significant conservation gains to protect the most ecologically significant
landscapes in southern Florida, directly benefiting several national
wildlife refuges or the landscapes where they are located. Our work has
resulted in increased conservation funding and the permanent protection of
thousands of additional acres.
