DOINews: USFWS: Outdoor Events Shift into High Gear At National Wildlife Refuges!

If you get a thrill from seeing natural wonders – the annual spring spawn of horseshoe crabs along the mid-Atlantic coast, alligators roaring for mates in Okefenokee Swamp, prairie chickens strutting and calling in the Southwest – national wildlife refuges are the places for you.

If you enjoy more organized celebrations of nature – bird festivals, guided nature hikes, family fishing days – you'll find plenty of those at refuges this season, too.

Visit a refuge and learn how the Refuge System is protecting your natural heritage.
