SUMMARY:Friends SHARE on 9.22.26
DESCRIPTION:Join CORFA’s next Friends SHARE Zoom call on Tuesday\, September 22nd\, 2026\, a 4:00 pm ET to exchange ideas on how Friends groups handle seasonal support staff. \nIf you have or had an seasonal support staff program\, what do you want to share with others? If you’re exploring the possibility of starting a program\, what questions do you have? What has your Friends group role been in your site’s seasonal support program? From what we know so far\, there is some variety in the relationships between Friends Groups\, refuges\, and seasonal support staff. \nHow is your group involved in recruiting\, paying for support staff positions\, any supervision\, recruitment\, working side-by-side\, etc. \nIf you have a critical issue\, specific question\, or topic where you are seeking expertise\, please let us know as soon as possible so we can prepare and look for helpful resources. \nDate: Tuesday\, September 22\, 2026\nTime: 4:00 PM ET\, 3:00 PM CT\, 2:00 PM MT\, 1:00 PM PT\nRSVP: Email coalitionrefugefriends@gmail.com by September 21st with “Friends SHARE” in the subject line and your Friends group name in the body. \nThis Zoom call is only for members of Friends groups or their staff\, and you may share this invitation with Friends members and other Friends groups. To support candid discussion\, the call will not be recorded; we ask all participants to review and agree to our Safe Space Guidelines. \nWe are looking forward to getting together! \nCORFA’s Friends SHARE Team\nMike Baldwin\, Ceal Craig\, Cheryl Hart\, Joan Patterson\, Polly Sheppard\, Willem Stoeller\, Joan Van Gorp\, Kathy Woodward\, Tom Worthington\, Maria Montag\, Janelle Wicks \nP.S.

SUMMARY:Water for the Wild-Rebuilding the Lifelines that Sustain Our Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Join the Friends of Bosque del Apache for a virtual presentation as we examine the important details of our Water for the Wild Campaign with Friends of Bosque del Apache staff and lead Refuge Biologist\, Claire Revekant. \nAt Bosque del Apache\, every season\, every wingbeat\, every annual migration depends on one essential truth: where water flows\, life flourishes. But in the arid Southwest\, water does not simply arrive; it must be carefully delivered and directed around the refuge through a network of gates\, channels\, and control structures — the arterial lifelines that carry this life-giving water to the wetlands. Many of these systems have worked tirelessly for decades\, but today they are aging and increasingly strained by extended drought and rising temperatures. This year\, with your support\, we’re working to strengthen these waterways and maximize every available drop — ensuring that water continues to reach the habitats that so desperately depend on it. \nIn this presentation\, we’ll take a deeper dive into the “what”\, “why”\, “where”\, and “how” of the project\, learning about the necessary repairs\, how we will achieve these needed improvements\, how this work will affect the refuge\, and why this work is so critical right now. Join us to learn more about how you can help! \nRegister Now
