Nature Store now open 4 days each week Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon for 2025 Season April - October
Located inside the TNWR Administration Building, the Friends of Turnbull Nature Store is open 4 days each week- Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 10 am - 4 pm. It is staffed by Friends of Turnbull member volunteers, who are Refuge Ambassadors/Nature Store Sales staff. The Nature Store sells books for adults and children, T-shirts and Sweatshirts, hats, wildlife related jewelry, pins, stickers, mugs, and other items such as greeting cards, postcards, magnets, and toys. The Nature Store sales support the mission of the Friends group to provide Environmental Education opportunities to students and families in our region. Nature Store Volunteers are also "Refuge Ambassadors" welcoming visitors and answering basic questions about the Refuge.
The store uses a Point of Sale (POS) system which is easy to operate. We provide training and promise a fun and interesting experience volunteering in the Nature Store. We organize two 3-hour shifts each day and need up to 8 volunteers each weekend!! The Nature Store shift hours are from 10am – 1pm and 1pm – 4pm.

The Nature Store is stocked with t-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, field guides, children's books, Audubon bird toys, environmental-related games, jewelry, magnets, stickers, other educational materials and art objects. The proceeds of the store benefit the Friends of Turnbull for their work to support the mission of the Refuge through education, research, and habitat restoration.
Store visitors can also get general information about the Refuge, check out the Kids Wildlife Viewing Backpacks for your visit to the Refuge, and get brochures and Refuge maps for your visit. You may want to make it your first stop inside the Refuge, watch for the sandwich board which says the "Store is Open".
