What we found: The refuge explicitly offers work-camper opportunities with two pads: one at the headquarters/visitor center in Springville and another at Duck River Bottoms subheadquarters in New Johnsonville. It directs inquiries to refuge headquarters. These are specific resident placements, not generic volunteer suggestions, but the public page omits pad utilities, service hours and current availability. Biological internships with UT Martin are a separate program and should not supply assumed stipend or housing terms for RV volunteers.
