🚨 Phew... is it just us, or is June ALREADY hitting hyper-drive? 🗓️✨

If you think our updates look packed, you should see the action items in our notes! From crowning the Red-winged Blackbird as our BirdFest & Bluegrass 2026 Bird of the Year 🦅 to bird-safe window workshops, photo contests, and a night out with the Ridgefield Raptors ⚾... there is so much happening at the Refuge right now.

In fact, we had so much news to squeeze into this month's newsletter that we didn't even have room to cover the recent Ribbon Cutting! ✂️🎉

But here’s the honest truth: We can't do it alone. We need your help! 🤝

We have some massive events coming up this month—like Big Paddle this Saturday, June 6th, and the Pollinator Festival on June 20th—and we are officially short-handed. Whether you want to lead a hike or just hang out and help us man a table downtown, we need folks to throw on their metaphorical "Friends Volunteer" hats and help us keep this beautiful place thriving! ⛰️🧢

Check out the full newsletter below to see how you can sign up to volunteer, get tickets to the ball game, or check out our brand-new Fledgling Photo Contest for the kids! 📸
