The Friends of Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is a non-profit
volunteer organization dedicated to protecting the Necedah
National Wildlife Refuge.  We achieve this by supporting our time
and spirit to many activities - habitat restoration, funding for
seasonal employees, and community outreach are some of the
things we do to support this refuge.  

Become a Friend today and join us as we build a Visitor Center!
Since late June, groups of young
whooping cranes shipped from the
Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in
Maryland have arrived into the
Necedah National Wildlife Refuge.  
A total of
16 birds will make up the
2008 class of ultralight-led birds.

Please visit the Observation Tower
early in the morning beginning late
August through early October to
catch glimpses of the training.

Catch up on current whooping crane
activities and reports by visiting the
Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership
website or online at
Operation
Migration.
