Rappahannock Wildlife Refuge Friends - First Project


Bill Swift, Project Manager for the Rappahannock Wildlife Refuge Friends is pleased to announce that the Friends have completed their first construction project, an information kiosk at the scenic Wilna Pond Outdoor Classroom and Public Fishing Area. The newly formed Rappahannock Wildlife Refuge Friends have convened monthly with the following serving as board members and officers: Judy Allen (Secretary), Ann Graziano (President), Frank Graziano (Treasurer), Connie Grimm (Vice President), Alex Long (Board Member), Lloyd Mundie (Board Member), and Bill Swift (Board Member and Project Manager).

This first short-term project for the new volunteer group was carried out by Swift and Greg Owens of the Refuge Staff. The kiosk is 12 ' x 15' and will house interpretive panels. Visitors to the refuge will be able to visit the kiosk to get general information, learn about wetland and pond habitats, and identify common wildlife sightings. Wilna Pond is open daily, sunrise to sunset, for wildlife observation and accessible fishing. The Friends group is investigating grant opportunities to help fund additional public use projects at Wilna Pond. Future plans include construction of a new Marsh trail, winding through the woods to a scenic wetland overlook; and extension of an existing trail, including a branch with a new accessible photo blind overlooking the pond.
