The mission of the Friends of Tamarac is to
Support Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge through education, conservation and advocacy to provide the foundation for a community bond that values the outdoors and the natural environment.
Established nearly 30 years ago this nonprofit group is made up of an active 10-15 member board and over 300 members. The Friends sponsor educational programs and events, build observation platforms and pathways, generate thousands of grant dollars for water quality and habitat projects, host a popular nature photography contest, and so much more. We are an advocate for wildlife refuges and passionate about protecting wild places for generations. The volunteers of Tamarac donated over 8,000 hours of service just last year.
