Friends, volunteers and staff of Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge along with the SC Wildlife Federation will host a workday at the Refuge. Begun in 1998, the workday is an annual project of the SC Wildlife Federation. Plan to join us for a day of learning about refuge wildlife as you help conserve and protect valuable natural resources. Anticipated projects include maintaining trails, installing trail and boundary signs, litter pick-up, and repairing boardwalks and kiosks.
Participants should wear field clothes, comfortable shoes, and bring work gloves, drinks, and a snack. Volunteers will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Headquarters Office located 3.5 miles east of McBee on US Highway 1. The workday will conclude at noon and participants are encouraged to picnic at Lake Bee before leaving the refuge.
For more information about the workday, please e-mail the refuge at carolinasandhills@fws.gov, or call the refuge office at 843-335-8350.
