Auto Tour Stop 3
The fire towers are two of many structures built on the refuge in the early 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Although the towers are no longer used for fire observation, they are serving wildlife. Several years ago, a barn owl gained access to this tower through a broken window, nested and produced several young. After the owlets reached flight stage, the window was repaired and an artificial nest box was attached near the top of the structure. For the past several years, barn owls have been produced from nest boxes on both towers.
