[From Fall 1998]
Refuge Manager John D. Schroer invited members of the Chincoteague Natural History Association to join the celebration of National Wildlife Refuge Week (10/12-10/16) at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 1998.
"This event celebrates the wonders of the National Wildlife Refuge System and the important role that system plays in sustaining and safeguarding wildlife resources," said Schroer.
A variety of activities were available, including bird walks, auditorium programs about shorebird identification and wildlife photography, t-shirt printing, crafty critters, face painting, and building bird houses. Additionally, several wildlife artists were exhibiting their work. Refuge staff were also celebrating the Week in the visitor center as they treated visitors to wildlife weaving and wildlife pin designing. As usual, all activities were free.
"National Wildlife Refuges remind all of us about the natural resource treasures that are an important part of our American heritage. Chincoteague Refuge is proud to be a part of the most extensive network of lands in the United States set aside specifically for wildlife, and I am pleased so many people participated in this year's event," said Schroer.
