Adopting a nest is a fun and educational way to show your support. Many parents and grandparents use it as a chance to show our young people the importance of the balance of nature and how they can have a positive impact by becoming involved.
The Friends of the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge sponsor the Adopt-A-Nest program each year. All adopting sponsors receive a certificate and important information about their nests, along with a final report on the overall season. Click here
