This Saturday Back Bay NWR is hosting two public events!
The first weekend in June is Virginia's Free Fishing Weekend. From June 5 - 7 fishing licenses are not required and those interested in fishing are encouraged to try it out. The Izaak Walton League will be out at D-Pool from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Drop by anytime!
Saturday, June 6 is also National Trails Day. We will celebrate with a guided walk at 10:00am. This walk is best for those new to the wildlife refuge and young hikers.
No registration is needed for either of these programs. Both programs are free, but there is a $5.00/vehicle entrance fee. America the Beautiful Passes and Federal Duck Stamps cover entrance to the wildlife refuge.
