Friends of Bombay Hook NWR

Located in central DE, we work with our refuge and USFWS to provide opportunities for recreation, education, as well as outreach and volunteer services.

Have you ever rolled out to the refuge to scope out that sweet Cerulean Warbler, only to find out we only take cash or check for daily and annual passes, and sadly drove to the atm in Smyrna?
BE SAD NO MORE! #BombayHook passes are now on Rec dot gov! https://t.co/opiPDd3tXP

Well folks, today's weather is the perfect stage for this year's #WMBD2023 theme, water. It's a rainy day. Which is water. Which we need. Cuz it's been dry.

[Friends of Bombay Hook NWR @Friends_BHNWR]

@USFWSNortheast I regret nothing.

Them: eewww some lady's house was infested with snakes!
Me: [checking mortgage rates] is she planning to sell it?

[Friends of Bombay Hook NWR @Friends_BHNWR]

I don't see what the problem is. This sounds like the *perfect* home. 🐍❤️ #SnakeHouse

I like to be light-hearted here, but sometimes I can't. Like right now. The picture is grisly, but the bear was grizzly. The poor babe.

They're also doing a lot of elbow-rubbing with members of other Friends' groups across the country. A collaborative experience in learning best practices and kick-starting innovative and sustainable ideas. Can I go next year?!

[Friends of Bombay Hook NWR @Friends_BHNWR]

A couple of our board members and our visitor services manager are at some fancy-shmancy workshop learning about effective partnerships with the System and communities at @USFWSNCTC and all I got was this picture. (I'm not jealous; YOU'RE jealous)

You know that saying, "Teamwork makes the dream work?" Well, they need one for volunteers. "Three cheers for all who volunteer!"

Watch this visualization of the migratory path of a one-year-old North Atlantic right whale (red dot) traveling along the Mid-Atlantic coast, overlapping vessel traffic (blue dots). This whale was tagged off the Virginia/ North Carolina coast in March 2021.
