SRES 892 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating the week beginning on October 13, 2024, as "National Wildlife Refuge Week".

SRES 892 designates the week beginning October 13, 2024, as "National Wildlife Refuge Week" through a symbolic Senate resolution. It recognizes the National Wildlife Refuge System's role in conserving habitats, protecting species (including over 380 threatened or endangered species), and supporting recreation and local economies. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges the system's conservation work, recreational opportunities, and economic contributions, such as generating $3.2 billion annually for local communities. This is a ceremonial designation, not a policy change, aimed at raising public awareness.
