T.R.E.E.’s mission is to educate children and adults about the life science processes that govern our planet, to inspire them to appreciate the natural world, and to motivate them to protect it.

To connect people with nature and empower them to make informed decisions about water and wildlife.

To preserve and protect, in perpetuity, unique examples of natural, cultural, and scenic areas and provide a variety of safe, quality, outdoor experiences through a well-planned system.

TVA was created by Congress in 1933 and charged with a unique mission: to improve the quality of life in the Tennessee valley through the integrated management of the regions resources.

Through collaboration with a diverse network of partners and through the highest principles of conservation, Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge will foster a strong land ethic, scientific leadership, and opportunities for people to discover meaningful relationships with nature in a dynamic and changing landscape. As stewards of Tetlin Refuge, we will strive to achieve the purposes of the Refuge and the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System, maintain ecosystem integrity, provide for subsistence opportunities, and facilitate wildlife-dependent recreation. As a result, Tetlin Refuge will perpetuate its unique history and continuing role as a vital passageway for fish, wildlife, plants, people, and cultures.
