This stunning 2025 photo calendar rambles through the Refuge, month by month, full of unique photographs and insights. Designed by Friends of Patuxent volunteers, with photos donated by generous friends-of-the-refuge photographers, including Graeme Simpson, Matt Beziat, David Jonathan Cohen, Barbara J. Saffir, and Rick Dove, and natural-history notes developed with Refuge Wildlife Biologist Sandy Spencer. All profits from the sale of this calendar support the Patuxent Research Refuge and the Eastern Ecological Science Center at Patuxent. If you are a member of Friends of Patuxent, please login to the website for your special members-only pricing. Please note that we are a volunteer-run organization. Friends' volunteers handle calendar-order packaging and shipping as quickly as they can but can only ship orders once a week. We ship orders via USPS Media Mail. Calendars are also available for purchase in-person at our Wildlife Images Bookstore and Nature Shop, which is open Wednesdays through Saturdays, 10 AM-3:30 PM, excluding Federal holidays and on days when the Refuge's National Wildlife Visitor Center is closed. Check the Refuge website for information about Visitor Center closings. PLEASE NOTE: The Refuge Visitor Center, and our Bookstore, will be closed from Sunday, 12/22/2024 through Wednesday, 01/01/2025.
