Due to a lack of appropriation funding and government shutdown, the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is closed and most of the staff is furloughed. As a result of this, all activities and presentations scheduled for Oct. 15-18 are canceled. Even if the budget is resolved early next week, it is too short of notice for the center’s partners, suppliers, attendees and volunteers.

While bathrooms are closed, the Friends of Necedah NWR has hired a porta-potty that will be situated in the main parking lot across from the handicapped spaces. Even though the center is closed, from sunrise to sunset people can enjoy hiking the trails, birding, photography and enjoying the beautiful nature at the refuge.

The center thanks the public for their understanding.
