The Friends of the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge is a non-profit that works with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and our local communities to meet
wildlife and biological management objectives, recreational and educational goals and support diverse programs related to the Refuge.
With the arrival of warm weather, frogs, salamanders, and even turtles are on the move! Refuge staff would like to remind everyone to
please be extra careful driving on Refuge roads and slow down to give wildlife a break. Don't drive through puddles without first checking for critters
that may be hiding in the water.
