Parker River National Wildlife Refuge invites people of all ages to celebrate Endangered Species Day on Sunday May 19th, from noon to 3:00 p.m. at the refuge visitor center. Endangered Species Day was
designated to educate the American public on the importance of protecting endangered species and highlight the everyday actions that individuals can take to help protect our nation’s wildlife, fish, and plants.

During the Celebration, visitors can engage in different activities and crafts to learn about local endangered species, and species in decline. Some activities and crafts will include, make your own piping plover, monarch silk painting, and interacting with live Blanding’s turtles. Additionally, the winners of the Beach Sign Youth Art Contest will be announced at 1:00 p.m. No preregistration for this free, family friendly public event!
