National Wildlife Refuges
California and Nevada Region manages 51 National Wildlife Refuges and Wildlife Management Areas covering 2.3 million acres in California , Nevada and the
Klamath Basin of Oregon. These refuges range in size from the 1.6 million acre
Desert National Wildlife Refuge near Las Vegas, Nevada, to the 13 acre Castle Rock National
Wildlife Refuge, an island off the coast of northern California. The refuges
encompass many types of habitats, including wetlands, estuaries, rocky shores,
grasslands, forests, deserts and all variations in between. Most refuges provide
food, nesting grounds and resting areas for birds migrating to and from northern
and southern climes. Endangered species are the focus of some refuges and nearly
all refuges are open to the public.
