Welcome
The Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge is located in
northeast Washington, 13 miles southeast of Colville in Stevens
County. Located on the west slope of the Selkirk Mountain Range,
it is the only mountainous, mixed-conifer forest refuge in the lower
48 states. It was established in 1939 to provide a refuge and breeding
ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. To quote a former Refuge Manager on his perspective of the Refuge System, “Elemental nature wisely kept, unfettered, undaunted, this teaming legacy of wild things in wild places handed down through the generations shall endure forever.” Take "Flat Blue" for an Adventure Flat Blue, an image of the Refuge System’s traditional Blue Goose symbol, was launched with the National Wildlife Refuge System’s Conserving the Future vision process. Much like Flat Stanley – that fanciful, educational character that has traveled the nation and the world – Flat Blue is a fun way to engage with nature. First, download an easy-to-print version of Flat Blue. Then take your friends and family – or just yourself – to a National Wildlife Refuge, where you can take a photo with Flat Blue and tell the story of your adventure. E-mail your photos to americaswildife@gmail.com. It will be added to the www.AmericasWildlife.org Flat Blue page. Refuge Headquarters is located at 1310 Bear Creek Road in Colville
Washington. Click here for driving directions, a location map and a geographical map. |
