SUMMARY:Build Your Own Backyard Refuge
DESCRIPTION:As the seasons change\, so do the needs and behaviors of our feathered friends. Let Laurel share her tips for staying in tune with nature this nesting season and learn how to turn your yard into a backyard refuge! \nThe New Mexico Backyard Refuge Program is an initiative to expand wildlife habitat in the Albuquerque area by encouraging residents to share space with wildlife by adding native plants and caring for their yards with wildlife-friendly practices. We share our backyards with hundreds\, even thousands of different plants and animals\, but as cities grow\, places for wildlife become fewer and farther between. All species are in constant need of suitable habitat in which to dwell and give the next generation a chance to thrive. With wildlife gardening\, we can enhance our own outdoor spaces while providing resources for our wild neighbors to make their homes. Even in urban areas\, we can make changes that allow other species to flourish with us. Wildlife gardening provides a means of cooperating with our wild neighbors by being aware of their needs and deliberately creating spaces that we can share with our wild neighbors. \nFrom a large\, one acre lot that can host numerous different trees\, shrubs and flowers\, to a deck or balcony large enough for just a small container garden\, everyone can contribute by making an effort to garden for wildlife and landscape for conservation. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:2025 National Wildlife Refuge Awards
DESCRIPTION:The Refuge Association is hosting the 2025 National Wildlife Refuge Awards — A Virtual National Celebration of the Refuge System — on Tuesday\, March 24\, 2026\, at 7:00 pm ET (6:00 pm CT / 5:00 pm MT / 4:00 pm PT). \nRSVP link to share: https://refugeassociation.org/livestream\n(When people RSVP\, they receive the Zoom link and event reminders by email. They can opt in to stay on our email list\, but otherwise won’t get ongoing messages from us.) \nFriends groups and volunteers help make refuges welcoming\, resilient\, and loved. This livestream is a chance to show up for one another — to celebrate the Friends groups\, volunteers\, and refuge staff who keep refuges thriving. We are one Refuge System\, and our movement is more powerful when we show up together. \nIf you’re able\, would you share the RSVP link once this week\, and then again as we get closer to March 24th? \nTo help lighten the lift\, we created a short Friends Share Toolkit  with ready-to-use social captions and a newsletter blurb you can drop into your next update. \nThank you so much for helping spread the word. \nTogether we are Refuge Strong\, \nDesirée Sorenson-Groves\nPresident & CEO\nNational Wildlife Refuge Association
