Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge Work Day
ORGANIZATION: FRIENDS OF CALIFORNIA CONDORS WILD AND FREE
Please visit the new page to apply.

Our monthly refuge volunteer event in July will be at Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge in the mountains above Fillmore. We could sure use all the help we can get to make the refuge a better place. This is the best way to guarantee getting on a refuge and possibly seeing some condors.
We meet in Fillmore at 8am and then caravan up the mountain in high clearance vehicles. We typically spend the morning on work projects and then stop for lunch and then spend some time after lunch looking for CA condors before heading back down to Fillmore.
Let us know if you can join us. Thanks!
