NWRA Refuge Action Network

Welcome to the NWRA's "Take Action" Web page! With this Take Action page, the NWRA has made it easier than ever to contact your elected officials and government decision-makers.

The Refuge Action Network (RAN) allows refuge advocates like you to make your voice heard on refuge issues by using this free service. RAN is a fast, easy and effective way for you to make a difference.

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.
