Cross Creeks NWR is roughly 9,000 acres that spans 11 miles of the Cumberland River in Dover, TN. The refuge closes the land for the winter to the public and fills with wintering waterfowl, eagles, and other wetland birds. It is a time when birders come to the visitor center and also a time when maintenance of the heavy equipment used on the refuge gets done. The refuge is seeking someone that will be willing to assist FWS staff in maintenance and help keep the Visitor Center open weekdays.
The refuge has two camper pads, plus a full service bunkhouse available to accommodate a winter volunteer(s). We ask 24 hours service per week in exchange for these accommodations. We will also provide your propane needs. There is limited wifi and signal service at this location.
