Committees
Friends of Anahuac Refuge (FOAR) has several committees to help manage our work at the refuge. As specific projects come up, sub-committees are established. The members of the sub-committees may be board members or non-board members.
If you would like to become involved in Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge activities, learn more about our refuge, meet others with like interests, committee work is a perfect opportunity.
