Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge Society
Confirmed against an official or primary source as of the date shown.
Directly confirmed via a live WebFetch of the Society's own site: mission statement, address, and no-dues membership model ("The Society depends on donations to fund programs and projects") all directly quoted. The specific public-facing programs the fetch surfaced (sea-turtle-nest-sitting volunteer training, an outdoor classroom for school groups) are general refuge-support activities, not waterfowl-specific — hostsPublicEvents/clubMembershipAvailable reflect that general activity, not a waterfowl program.
The official Friends group and "primary partner" of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge — a major wintering site for waterfowl this guide's own area page describes, though the refuge itself is closed to waterfowl hunting. The Society's own site states its mission as "advocacy, outreach, and education for the betterment of the Refuge," including a visitor-education outdoor classroom serving school groups. Relevant here as a wildlife-watching and conservation-education resource, not a hunting resource — do not confuse this listing with hunting access, which Back Bay NWR does not offer for waterfowl (see this guide's own back-bay-nwr area record).
