The NWRA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, national membership organization, established in 1975. The NWRA’s mission is to protect, enhance and expand the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS), lands and waters set aside by the American people to conserve our country’s diverse wildlife heritage. Over the years we have worked to make the Refuge System stronger and better able to address the growing challenges of conserving wildlife in our country.

Urge Congress to Support $578 million for FY 2011 for the NWRS!
Monday, March 29, 2010
The Refuge System requires increases of at least $15 million annually to simply maintain its current ability to manage refuges, and the President’s proposed budget calls for a $3.3 million reduction in the Refuge Systems budget in fiscal year 2011. This is in effect an $18.3 million cut and will mean curtailing many volunteer and public use programs.
Please urge your U.S. Representative and both Senators to fund the National Wildlife Refuge System at $578 million in FY 2011.

While Washington, DC, may seem far away, Congress and regulatory agencies are making decisions every day that affect your refuge and the Refuge System. Legislators want to hear from their constituents. They want to know that real voters in their districts stand behind the positions advocated by the National Wildlife Refuge Association.
By communicating with members of Congress to explain how federal government policies impact the National Wildlife Refuge System, you become a vital link between Washington, DC, and your local refuge.
