Connect with your community and your local Wildlife Refuge! Become a Volunteer Naturalist with the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge and learn about the amazing wildlife who call the Refuge home while giving back.
Volunteer Naturalists welcome visitors, lead school and community field trips, facilitate opportunistic learning, and serve as a refuge resource. During the spring training volunteers will gain skills in environmental education, group management, and nature awareness all while exploring the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.
Once trained, volunteers commit to providing support to the Conservation Education program as field trip leaders, group guides, and classroom based informal educators. Opportunities exist throughout the year, not just during the school year. Additional opportunities to work with varying age groups (including adults) and at different venues are available.

Mission Statement
The Mission of Friends of Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is to support the development and management of Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge (TRNWR). We are dedicated to restoring and protecting Refuge habitats as well as providing wildlife education and recreation.
Description
The Friends of Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge (the Friends) is a community-based nonprofit organization. Unlike most refuges, Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge was established due to the vision and hard work of a group of local citizens who saw the value of having a National Wildlife Refuge in the midst of a rapidly growing urban area. These founders worked with local political leaders to gain approval for and the establishment of the Refuge. We offer volunteer opportunities to help provide environmental education opportunities for students and adults; increase public awareness of this refuge and the wildlife refuge system; and with rehabilitation of refuge lands for wildlife use.
