We are so excited about the opportunity to bring you The RVers Guide to the National Wildlife Refuges book that you can downloaded today. We have a temporary exclusive to offer you this one-of-a-kind book that will open up your RV camping experiences like never before.
The fun of RV'ing is the ability to explore, experience and see things that leaves a lasting memory for you and your family. The The RVers Guide to the National Wildlife Refuges is a book that opens up new RV campsites to explore in every state where a wildlife refuge exists.
This guide is designed for RVers and will give them a taste of what there is to see and do on each refuge, direct them to some of the nearby RV parks or places to camp, mention nearby service facilities and give them a few of the options for other activities close by. The RVers Guide focuses on things of particular interest to RVers rather than on detailed biological, ecological or historical information about each refuge. However, the guide also contain information on what there is to see and do at each refuge.
48 states represented with 412 National Wildlife Refuges inside this 266 page book you can download today.
George and his wife Joan have visited all of the refuges included in the Guide and spent a month volunteering at Tishomingo NWR in Oklahoma, so we have first-hand information on nearly all the refuges in the continental U.S. that are accessible by automobile (i.e. no islands except those with bridges) and that are open to the general public, as well as on the refuge system at large. However, given our constraints (open and accessible by automobile) we missed refuges in Hawaii, most of those in Alaska and all in the U.S. territories. In traveling around the country visiting refuges and talking with refuge personnel, the book reminds potential visitors about some things to bear in mind when visiting the refuges.
48 States and 412 National Wildlife Refuges are included. Here are the states and number of NWR's (National Wildlife Refuges) with information on how to get there, how to contact, RV campsites, RV Services, attractions, things to see and do and other interesting information on the refuge.

About the Author:
The author, Dr. George W. LaBar, received his Ph.D. in zoology at Montana State University, Bozeman, where he worked on orientation of migrating cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Park. After receiving his doctoral degree in 1970, he worked for two summers as a ranger-naturalist in Yellowstone Park. He was an assistant professor at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, for two years, then he and his family moved to Venezuela, where he was a professor of ecology at Simón Bolivar University in Caracas. After two years there, the LaBar family moved to Orono, Maine, where Dr. LaBar was an assistant professor for two years in the Department of Zoology at the University of Maine.
He next moved to the University of Vermont, where he remained for most of his career, teaching fisheries and water-related courses and carrying out research on Lake Champlain fisheries. After 19 years in Vermont, he was asked to become the Head of the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources at the University of Idaho, Moscow. He remained there for 9 years, and retired in 2004 as Professor Emeritus of Fisheries.
Dr. LaBar and his wife Joan have traveled extensively in Latin America and Europe. In 2005-2006, they spent 6 months living and working in Costa Rica. They began their 2-year odyssey of visiting National Wildlife Refuges in September, 2005. During the course of their travels, they logged nearly 90,000 miles and pulled their 32’ Keystone Challenger 5th wheel through 49 states. The LaBars have three grown children in Maine, Alaska and New Mexico. They have now taken up residence in Dillon, Montana.
