Friends of Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge
is a grassroots nonprofit organization consisting of private citizens who provide volunteer and financial support to Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge.

Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1943. The refuge provides 6,592 acres of important feeding, resting, and breeding habitat for migratory birds, especially waterfowl, in the northern Lake Champlain section of the Atlantic Flyway. The refuge is an important link in a chain of refuges that extends along the Flyway for migratory birds that migrate between northern breeding grounds and southern wintering areas.
