The ARK Project
The ARK project
partners are the National Audubon Society, GSUSA and the US Fish and Wildlife
Service. This partnership has enabled GSCNC to develop the Adopt a Refuge
program with the Fairfax Audubon Society and the USFWS at Occoquan Bay Refuge in
Woodbridge, VA. Once a US Army base, migratory birds, native animals and plants
are being encouraged to return. GSCNC has a day each month (March May) where
