The Friends of Bombay Hook serves as a link between the refuge and the public to foster a better understanding and appreciation of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge.
The Refuge
Located on the west side of Delaware Bay, Bombay Hook is one of the crown jewels in the National Wildlife Refuge system.
It consists of over 16,000 acres of protected land and attracts 100,000 visitors a year including birders, nature lovers, photographers and hunters.
Bombay Hook is a great place to study and photograph nature, and to view wildlife in unspoiled surroundings.
Visitors may drive, bicycle or walk the public tour route, a 12 mile round-trip traversing the many refuge habitats. Along the route are five nature trails and three observation towers, each overlooking a fresh water impoundment.
What we do
Friends sponsors refuge activities including the annual spring and fall festivals; field trips, art exhibits and lectures; and the annual volunteer recognition dinner, hosted by the refuge staff.
Many Friends' members volunteer their time and talents at the refuge each year.
Volunteers assist refuge staff with event planning, publish the quarterly newsletter, staff the Visitor's Center on spring and fall weekends, help out at the festivals, lead bird walks, conduct refuge tours and many other services.
