Maintenance and Visitor Reception - Cross Creeks NWR

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge is 9,000 acres of land that is actively managed to create and maintain optimal wildlife habitat, which makes it a very attractive location for a diversity of wildlife as well as visitors. This refuge is a wonderful location for fishing, kayaking, wildlife observation and photography, as any local would tell you. If you enjoy meeting new people, advocating for conservation and teaching visitors about this unique location, this opportunity may be a great fit for you. Despite being a smaller scale refuge, there is no shortage of maintenance tasks or field work projects so if you enjoy hands-on work, consider volunteering with us this season. Couples and singles are encouraged to apply.

We ask that volunteer campers work 24 hours per week. In exchange for providing us with your time and service, the refuge will provide volunteers with a covered, full hookup camper pad, a free laundry facility located adjacent to the camper pad, propane, a work vehicle and any personal protection equipment needed. You would not necessarily have to work this whole period, but can come for segments of this duration.

Mission Statement

Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the premier government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats. We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.


The agency includes both the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System.

The Service's origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study the decrease in the nation’s food fishes and recommend ways to reverse that decline. (More on our history below.) Today, we are a diverse and largely decentralized organization, employing about 8,000 dedicated professionals working out of facilities across the country.
