About the FriendsMore About the Friends »

Barbara Volkle (President of the Friends of Assabet River NWR) and Libby Herland (Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Project Leader) sign the agreement The Friends of the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge is a non-profit organization established to work with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the refuge's valuable resources for future generations of wildlife and humans through stewardship and education.

We promote educational programs related to the Refuge and natural history of the area. We organize events and programs that help make the refuge more available to the public. We work with Refuge staff to help improve the refuge. This work also provides an opportunity for members to get to know the refuge.
