Our friends group, the Friends of the Upper Mississippi
River Refuges (FUMRR) supports the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife
and Fish Refuge – a 261 mile river refuge that is a national scenic treasure.
Our focus is refuge-wide advocacy and congressional outreach.
Organizationally we are made up of affiliate members which
are the other Friends Groups along the Mississippi River
and individual memberships.
The Friends Exchange
program gives Refuge Friends Groups members the opportunity to host and
visit Refuge Friends Group members throughout the
United States. In addition to
experiencing other Refuges and making lasting friendships, an exchange provides
an opportunity to learn the types of support that another Friends Group is
offering another Refuge.
