Overview of Updated Friends Policy

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s updated Friends Policy was finalized on July 12, 2021. This summer the Service has presented two webinars that provided overviews of the Policy. The Service provided the same content for each webinar however since the audience was different and therefore some of the questions differ. In addition to the recordings of the webinars held on July 28th and August 18th other materials from and mentioned during the webinar are available below.

We thank our amazing and knowledgeable presenters:

  • Linda Schnee, USFWS— NWRS, National Friends Program Coordinator
  • Maggie O’Connell, USFWS— NWRS, Branch Chief for Visitor Services
