Our friends group was established in 2007 to provide support for the St Vincent Island National Wildlife Refuge.

 The group's mission is:

To support environmental activities that include education, recreation and increased understanding of the history and natural environment of the St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge.

The group's goals are to:

  • Increase public awareness of the Refuge
  • Provide financial support to the Refuge
  • Support Refuge projects

The Supporters are always looking for new members.  We invite you to consider this opportunity to participate in this important work to learn more about, preserve, and enjoy this unique island.  We have a variety of volunteer activities that may appeal to you.  You can find details listed under "Want To Help? - Volunteer Jobs" on the menu bar.  The membership application form is also found under "Want To Help"?  Your membership entitles you to be our guest at our annual meeting, receive our quarterly newsletters, and receive advance notice of upcoming events.  And you get the satisfaction of knowing that you are part of a special group doing their part to protect our valuable natural assets.
