Our beautiful photo calendar brightens your home and also makes a unique, useful gift! Printed in USA. Available starting Saturday, September 26th with the 10 AM start of our Pollinator Festival in the National Wildlife Visitor Center, Laurel. The calendars also help raise funds for the wildlife conservation work of this refuge. Award-winning photographers generously donated use of their photos to support this fundraiser on behalf of Friends of Patuxent's refuge-support mission (this year's cover photo ©Barbara J. Saffir). Professionals in wildlife biology and ecology, Refuge history, graphic arts, writing and more also donated their expertise and time. Please continue celebrating with us this national wildlife refuge's 90 years of research, wildlife conservation, and education! Refuge established December 16, 1936, and "dedicated" June 3, 1939. All profits help support Patuxent Research Refuge and the Eastern Ecological Science Center. The $15 price includes tax. (No discounts; thank you for your support!). Donations also welcome above purchase price**. For online orders of up to 5 calendars per order, a +$5 mailing charge is added to help with mailing costs. (Larger orders can be placed; please email friendsprr@friendsofpatuxent.org with "Calendar 2027" in Subject line for info.)
