Refuge Management

Historically, waterfowl were given management priority; however, today refuge management is focused on maintaining a variety of native habitats and wildlife, with emphasis on migratory birds, threatened and endangered species, and species of special concern.

Thanks to current management techniques, Refuge habitats support a rich diversity of wildlife species including 68 mammals, 15 species of reptiles and amphibians, and at least 223 species of birds.
