Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge is over 51,000 acres of various habitat types set aside for the conservation of migratory birds with a focus on wintering waterfowl. The 51,000 acres is broken into 3 units located alongside the Tennessee River - Big Sandy Unit, Duck River Unit and Busseltown Unit. Duck River unit is the largest of the three units and the most actively managed as well, so there is never a short supply of work to be done. Volunteer tasks may include mowing, weedeating, spraying invasive plant species, facilities maintenance and assisting the biologist with tasks such as field work projects and summer wood duck banding. In exchange for providing us with your time and service, the refuge will provide volunteers with a covered, full hookup camper pad, a free laundry facility located adjacent to the camper pad, propane, a work vehicle and any personal protection equipment needed.

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.
