Friends of Sherburne
Who We Are
The Friends of Sherburne is a non-profit group formed to give assistance and support for Refuge projects and educational programs. We work to raise public awareness of the Refuge, to create environmental learning opportunities and to financially back those programs and projects through fund-raising activities. We promote a good relationship with the Refuge staff, our local communities and the entire refuge system.
Our Mission
The Friends of Sherburne believe that the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is a unique natural resource and that we can help the community develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Refuge and its mission.
