As nor’easter approaches, safety of refuge staff and visitors remains top priority
National wildlife refuges along the eastern seaboard are preparing for another round of rough weather as a nor’easter storm approaches this Wednesday. Although some refuges along the east coast have begun the road to recovery by clearing debris and downed trees, repairing trails and stabilizing structures in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, many will remain closed or partially closed to the public to protect visitors’ and staff safety through the upcoming coastal storm.
