Walk for the Wild is a national event of America’s Wildlife Refuge System, taking place during National Wildlife Refuge Week, October 7 to October 14. There will be 46 Teams, 26 States, and more than 70 National Wildlife Refuges participating across our nation!
Be sure to mark your calendar for October 13 and 14!
We’re on a mission to empower wildlife and humans to thrive. The “Walk for the Wild” challenge is to get people moving a distance of 5K (3.1 miles) in nature and to raise funds to support the wildlife refuges of Bandon Marsh and the offshore Oregon Islands.
