The Friends of Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and Patuxent Research Refuge, Inc., is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization, and was formed in 1992 to support the mission and programs of the Patuxent Research Refuge and the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Maryland. Friends of Patuxent raise funds for educaÃÂ?ÂÂtional programs, exhibits, and reÃÂ?ÂÂsearch. The focus of the research includes contaminants, migratory birds and studies of endangered species.
Friends of Patuxent operate the "Wildlife Images" bookstore. Profits from sales at "Wildlife Images" and yearly fundraising activities enhance the mission and programs at Patuxent Research Refuge.
Located in the WashÃÂ?ÂÂington-Baltimore corridor, the Patuxent Research Refuge was dedicated in 1939 as America's first refuge in the National Wildlife Refuge System devoted to research.
The Refuge's mission is "to help protect and conserve the Nation's wildlife and habitat through research on critiÂÂcal environmental problems and isÂÂsues."
The 12,750-acre refuge is home to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. The Research Center has been a leading international institute for wildlife and applied environmental research needed to better manage the Nation's natural resources.
Extensive forest, meadow and wetÂÂland habitats on the refuge are managed for biological diversity for the protection and benefit of naÂÂtive and migratory species, and to provide a unique outdoor laboÂÂratory for wildlife management-reÂÂlated research.
