Our Beginning and Goals
Friends of the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge began in August 2003. Formed as a non-profit corporation, it is the first Friends group in Montana. At the time, a group of local community members came together to support and work with the Refuge in the following areas:
Education, Conservation and Advocacy.
Educate the public about the Refuge.
Respond to challenges affecting the Refuge.
Develop the Refuge as a hub of conservation for the citizens of the valley and surrounding communities.
Create a vested interest in the community for the Refuge.
Enhance appropriate access to the Refuge.
Protect the Refuge ecosystem from outside impacts.
