Carl Zenger Takes the Cake!

by | Nov 9, 2023 | FINWR, Refuge, Volunteers

In October, Carl’s family, refuge staff, and volunteers celebrated him achieving 40,000 service hours, the largest number ever in the national refuge system!

A sculpture that depicts Carl’s passions – bluebirds, purple martins, and kestrels – will be installed at the refuge visitors center. Congratulations and much appreciation!

FINWR supports the programs and activities that go on at Iroquois NWR.
