Welcome!
We love the Wildlife Refuges of San Diego County. We are unique in that we are a cooperating association for both the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the California State Parks, giving us a rich and diverse set of opportunities to make a difference in wildlife refuge issues. From managing and administering private donations, grants and other funds, to participating in events such as bird counts, Earth Day and many other hands on activities, our association has something for everyone. We support initiatives and programs such as Habitat Heroes and other educational activities to bring students to an awareness of the refuges and participate in preservation activities.
Check our news page and calendar for the latest information and upcoming events, you will find many opportunities to meet new friends and make a difference. Come join us in our cooperative efforts with the National Wildlife Refuge System and California State Parks to make refuges even better places for wildlife and for people.

What a good day for shore stewardship! Thanks to San Diego National Wildlife Refuges signs are up from San Diego Audubon's Sharing Our Shores: South Bay education program. Fantastic students made fantastic signs encouraging visitors at the shore to responsibly share that sensitive habitat with birds like the endangered Ridgway's Rail. And many thanks to the US Youth Conservation Corps for installing the posts! You can see the stunning new signage at Bayside Birding at San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge, along the walking trail. Happy birding, everyone!
