Okefenokee Wildlife League

League Member Benefits

 

Volunteers are needed in assisting refuge personnel with some of their daily activities and special projects OWL volunteers may find themselves maintaining canoe and boat trails throughout the swamp, rebuilding boardwalks, banding baby red-cockaded woodpeckers, doing bird counts or assisting at the OWL bookstore and gift shop in the Visitor's Center. These are only a few of the ways that our volunteers show their support. By becoming a member of OWL, you too can register to become one of these volunteers.

OWL members also receive a 10% discount on items purchased in the bookstore and gift shop. We have a large variety of t-shirts, hats souvenir items, etc. You will also find a wide variety of books pertaining to the local folklore as well as interesting histories of the Okefenokee Swamp and the people that settled this area.

Every year in May, OWL members gather for their annual recognition meeting to honor and recognize outstanding volunteers of the year.
