Mission Statement
Friends of Noxubee Refuge are committed to providing steadfast support and assistance to refuge programs and projects, and to enhancing public awareness and appreciation of Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. We are dedicated to foster the use and enjoyment by the public, consistent with the protection and preservation of the environment.
Description
Friends of Noxubee Refuge was founded in May of 2003 as an independent, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, dedicated to conserving our natural resources through volunteer work and fund raising. We are part of a network of 250 friends groups who support our 540 national wildlife refuges. As federal budgets shrink, support groups are more essential in helping to protect our natural treasures for the benefit of present and future generations. Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge spans across 48,000 acres in Noxubee, Oktibbeha and Winston counties, with easy access from the towns of Columbus, Macon, Starkville and Louisville.
