ORGANIZATION: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Located in the historic "Northern Neck" region of Virginia, the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge affords visitors the opportunity to experience wildlife and a rural landscape similar, in places, to that which Captain John Smith experienced in the early 1600's. The Northern Neck is the northernmost of three peninsulas on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Many important historical figures were born on the Northern Neck, including U.S. presidents George Washington, James Madison, and James Monroe, as well as signers of the Declaration of Independence, Francis Lightfoot Lee and Richard Henry Lee, and the Confederate Civil War general Robert E. Lee. Our refuge is rural but all general shopping is located within 15 minutes. We are conveniently located 1 hour from Richmond & Fredericksburg, VA. and 2.5 hours from Washington D.C. Additional benefits include great bird watching, fishing, hiking and close proximity to the Rappahannock River. In exchange for the use of a RV pad with full hookup (water, sewer, 50 and 30 amp electric, with Laundry facilities on site) we require 32 hours per week per person (single) or a minimum of 24 hours per week each per couple.

Location:

5275 Leesburg Pike, MS: NWRS Visitor Services, Bailey’s Crossroads, VA 22041, US

Mission Statement

Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the premier government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats. We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.


The agency includes both the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System.

The Service's origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study the decrease in the nation’s food fishes and recommend ways to reverse that decline. (More on our history below.) Today, we are a diverse and largely decentralized organization, employing about 8,000 dedicated professionals working out of facilities across the country.
