Early Summer on the Refuge

The early blush of wildflowers is tapering off but new flowers will bloom all summer. 

Bird breeding season is underway.  This is still a great time to view local birds as they are active and vocalizing.   See our Birding Map for suggestions on where to see birds.

Refuge HQ is open standard hours: Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm.  The nature store at HQ will remain closed for a while.  The Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive is open and soon "Rovers" (volunteer naturalists) will be driving it to answer questions.

The Friends have a volunteer opportunity to lead a team of volunteers at the Eagles Nest Nature Store on the Refuge plus it's online store. Details can be found in this PDF document . Questions?   Send us email at FriendsOfSherburne@gmail.com
