About FOBWR, Refuges, & Board of Directors

ABOUT FRIENDS OF BRAZORIA WILDLIFE REFUGES
The Friends of Brazoria Wildlife Refuges is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Brazoria, San Bernard, and Big Boggy refuges. 
We raise funding through donations, grants, and gifts to help fund wildlife-refuge projects, educational programs, and other activities. 
​Members of FOBWR are dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly at our area refuges and within the community.
​
Our FOBWR activities include:
  • Construction of public-use facilities at the refuges
  • Discovery Environmental Education Program (DEEP) at Brazoria NWR
  • Clean-up efforts at the refuges
  • Promote public awareness of area refuges and wildlife
  • Coordinate the annual Migration Celebration
  • Host the biennial A Taste for Nature fundraiser for a designated refuge project
  • Fundraise for refuge projects and programs
ABOUT TEXAS MID-COAST NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE COMPLEX
The Texas Mid-coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex hosts the following three National Wildlife Refuges located in Brazoria and Matagorda Counties in Texas:
  • Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge
  • San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge
  • Big Boggy National Wildlife Refuge

These refuge habitats are comprised of saltwater, fresh water, and brackish wetlands. In addition, the refuges boast salt and mud flats and lakes and streams, in addition to woody thickets, old-growth woods, and prairies. These varied habitats provide a safe home for numerous plants and animals. Many animals use the refuges as a stopover during their migration or as a home-away-from-home during the winter months. Over 425 species of wildlife use the refuges during all or part of their life cycle. The FOBWR invites you to “visit” the refuges online, and especially, in person.
