DON’T MISS OUT ON THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY
ORDER YOUR ENGRAVED BRICK TODAY!

Support access and exploration at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge’s new Community Nature Center by buying a brick that will be installed at the Nature Exploration Area! Our intention is to create a space for all ages, abilities, and experience levels to embark on an epic adventure to learn from and enjoy the wonders of our Refuge’s natural universe. Secure your place in this journey by supporting the Buy a Brick program! Honor a loved one, pay homage to a wise mentor, or celebrate your passion for wildlife, science, and exploration! When you Buy a Brick, you’re not just paving a path—you’re crafting a legacy for future generations of explorers. This is your chance to leave an indelible mark on the history of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.

The Community Nature Center is a monumental long-term endeavor with a storied history of investment from the community and the Friends of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. A final push for funding to complete the project is underway and will get us across the finish line. The outside frame of the building will be done at the end of the year, and plans for the Nature Explore Area are nearly complete thanks to a grant from the Keller Foundation. Everything else needed, from the Environmental Education classroom to interpretive displays in the entranceway, will rely solely on donations from the community. Please support our brick fundraiser and be part of our mission and this new community hub, forever.

NOTE: Bricks should have names only, no vulgarity or demeaning language. Friends of Ridgefield NWR has the right to approve all language suggested.
