The Friends of Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is a non-profit volunteer
organization dedicated to protecting the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. We are
not only volunteers of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, but a group of over 100
members involved in many activities -  fundraising for new trails and an
environmental learning shelter, assists in the Junior Duck Stamp Contest, and
community outreach are just some of the things we do in support of the refuge.
