National Wildlife Refuges

The National Wildlife Refuge System is made up of more than 500 refuges with each of the 50 states having at least one refuge. Established in 1906 by Theodore Roosevelt, the system now includes 90 million-plus acres. Refuges preserve habitat for endangerd species; large ungulates like bison and elk; and nesting and wintering ground for migratory waterfowl. Some refuges may be closed seasonally. Most are open for wide spectrum of activities that may include wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing, hiking, and environmental education programs.

For additional information on National Wildlife Refuges, please visit the Department of Interior web site at www.fws.gov
