Our Mission

This group is devoted to the promotion, appreciation, and conservation of the wildlife, birds, and habitat of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. Officially established as a not-for-profit charitable organization in 1998, we are partners with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Upcoming Events

• Ice Cream Social — On Friday, August 4, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. our volunteers  are invited to socialize with other volunteers and to meet our Youth Conservation Corps crew members and hear about their summer accomplishments.
• And again, we encourage you to enter our annual Photo Contest. Check out all the information on the 2017 Photo Contest link above.

• Thanks so much to Angela Zhou for leading the Nature Journal Workshop. We learned a lot and had fun! Hopefully we will be able to do it again soon.

• In addition, STORY TIME  and the craft on July 22nd at the Avocet Corner Bookstore went well. The kids loved the little “owls” they made.
