RIDGEFIELD — Volunteers will meet at 8 a.m. Saturday at the hunter check station at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge to prepare the blinds for the coming hunting season.
The work party is being organized by the Lower Columbia chapter of the Washington Waterfowl Association.
Volunteers are urged to bring gloves, waders and shovels. The event also allows hunters to see the blinds during daylight hours.
A barbecue lunch will be provided.
Duck season opens Oct. 15 in Washington. A portion of the refuge’s River S unit is open to waterfowl hunting under a refuge-issued permit system.
