Supporting the designation of the week beginning on October 12, 2025, as "National Wildlife Refuge Week".
Summary
H.Res. 820 is a non-binding resolution that would designate the week beginning October 12, 2025, as National Wildlife Refuge Week. This type of resolution does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a symbolic expression of support from Congress for recognizing and celebrating the nation's wildlife refuge system.
If passed, this resolution would encourage Americans to learn about and appreciate the federal wildlife refuge system, which protects habitats for birds, fish, and other wildlife across the country. The designation would highlight the role these refuges play in wildlife conservation, environmental education, and outdoor recreation opportunities for citizens. However, as a non-binding resolution, it would not create any new legal requirements or funding, but rather would serve as an official acknowledgment of the value of these natural areas.
