Project completed with the help of volunteers included biological activities such as goose and eagle nesting surveys; duck banding; and building, installing, and cleaning of wood duck boxes; visitor service activities included staffing the Visitor Center on Saturdays, creating original artwork, and taking photos to use in environmental education, interpretation, and outreach; and maintenance activities included trash pick up and help with planting a water-conservation demonstration garden.

Two Boy Scouts are actively working on Eagle Scout projects on the refuge. One scout is planning a disabled-accessible hunting blind (scheduled for completion in Summer 2005). The other is working on a butterfly and hummingbird garden behind the Visitor Center.
