Join Us For Our 2022 Wildlife Refuge Awards: Inspiring Leadership In Conservation

We are excited to announce that our 2022 Wildlife Refuge Awards ceremony is going virtual! The in-person event held on Wednesday, September 14th, 2022 at 7 pm ET will be live-streamed free.

Since 1994, the National Wildlife Refuge Association has presented the Wildlife Refuge Awards to honor the outstanding contributions of Refuge employees, friends, and volunteers. This year, we will celebrate the exceptional accomplishments of awardees in five categories: the Paul Kroegel Refuge Manager of the Year, the Refuge Employee of the Year, the Refuge Volunteer of the Year, the Molly Krival Refuge Friends Group of the Year, and the Refuge Advocate. 

The National Wildlife Refuge System depends on the dedication of its exceptional workforce and the devotion of its volunteers, Friends groups, and advocates in order to manage the world’s largest network of lands and waters set aside for wildlife conservation. It is our great honor to present these awards.

Please register here to attend this annual event virtually! We will be sending out additional information to those that register. You can learn more about our Wildlife Refuge Awards and register to attend the in-person event here >>

We hope you will join us for this exciting evening!
