Working for Wildlife Day

On Saturday, December 13, staff, volunteers and partners of the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge and the S.C. Wildlife Federation will host a wildlife workday at the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge. Concluding at noon, the day’s activities include learning about refuge wildlife. Participants will engage in physical activity and team project exercises, including protecting red-cockaded woodpecker trees, maintaining trails, installing trail signs, and building information kiosks. Participants are asked to meet at the refuge headquarters at 9 a.m., and requested to wear field clothes and bring work gloves, drinks and a snack. At the conclusion of scheduled work activities, participants are welcome to picnic at Lake Bee before leaving the refuge. Call ahead if planning to bring a group.
