Why We're Raising Funds: Join Team Osprey Sky Walker for Give More 24!
From the soaring flight of an osprey to the quiet stillness of a wetland, the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is more than a place — it's a community rooted in wonder, access, and stewardship. Our mission at the Friends of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is to protect wildlife and their habitats by deepening public understanding and engagement with this sacred land. And this September, we’re asking you to take flight with us.
This year, we're rallying around the theme: Osprey Sky Walker — a community-first adventure inspired by a galaxy far, far away. Whether you're a fledgling or a seasoned Grand Master of nature, you belong here. And you can help make this refuge even more welcoming for all.
What Your Gift Supports
Through Give More 24!, we’re raising critical funds for the Refuge’s Nature Exploration Area — a space where kids, families, and explorers of all abilities can connect with nature, learn, play, and grow. From our Buy-a-Brick campaign to educational signage and sensory pathways, every dollar builds a more inclusive experience.
Your gift supports:
Access-for-All design improvements
Cultural and environmental education programs
Volunteer-led habitat restoration
Year-round community engagement and BirdFest & Bluegrass programming
Why Give More 24! Matters
Give More 24! is Southwest Washington’s day of giving — a collective effort to support the causes that make our region thrive. It’s not just a fundraiser. It’s a movement of neighbors, and this year, the Force of Nature needs you.
One brick. One gift. One step closer to a future where everyone can nest, explore, and belong.
