Wishes Come True

After wishing for one for a couple of years and competing for grants to fund one, with help from the Refuges, Friends of Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys NWRs is getting a Mobile Outreach Trailer! We hope to have it in time for the Seafood Festival in Cedar Key on October 21 and 22. We are currently playing with graphic designs for the exterior. There is so much beauty on our Refuges that it is really hard to choose our graphics. Maybe one of these ---

The Mobile Outreach Trailer presents a new opportunity for Friends members to help. Drivers are needed to move the trailer between the Refuge storage area and places where Friends will welcome visitors. If your personal vehicle can't tow it but you have trailering skills and are willing to help, consider signing up for the online Defensive Driver Safety Course. After passing, and being accepted as an official Refuge volunteer, you will be allowed to borrow a Refuge truck.
