The Friends of Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge Nature Store in the Visitor Center has been closed since extensive storm damage in July resulted in the building closing indefinitely. The Friends is exploring options, and currently the Nature Store does not have a home, and we have a LOT of inventory. So, we decided to have a sale to reduce the inventory, raise some cash for the Refuge and we hope that you will join us!
