Featherstone NWR Clean Up
Come take advantage of this rare opportunity to access Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge, normally closed to the public. This tidal wetland is in desperate need of stewardship. Come join in the fun of removing litter, tires and
who knows what else. What to bring: rubber boots and work gloves.
