Working for Wildlife Volunteer Day

Friends, volunteers and staff of Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge along with the SC Wildlife Federation will host a workday at the refuge on Saturday, December 13, 2014. The workday is an annual project of the SC Wildlife Federation. Plan to join us for a day of learning about refuge wildlife as you help conserve and protect valuable natural resources. Anticipated projects include raking around red-cockaded woodpecker trees to exclude them from prescribed burns, maintaining trails, installing trail signs, and building information kiosks. Participants should wear field clothes, comfortable shoes, and bring work gloves, drinks, and a snack. Volunteers will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Headquarters Office located 3.5 miles east of McBee on US Highway 1. The workday will conclude at noon and participants are encouraged to picnic at Lake Bee before leaving the refuge. If you plan to bring a group, please call ahead so that we can plan and assign appropriate projects for your group.
