Jean Cote's Gravatar I have been wanting to go to the wildlife refuge for a while now and it looks like a great place. Is the place safe for kids and dogs? I assume it is since there is a picture with children on it, but I want to make sure and come prepared. I'd like to bring my border collie too but I'm not sure it would be allowed. She's a pretty good dog who does a bunch of <a href="http://www.dogtrickacademy.com/">dog tricks</a>.

Maybe I'll just give them a quick call in the morning.

Michael Davidson's Gravatar Refuges are definitely safe for kids! During Refuge week, some will even offer specific events to get kids involved with the outdoors. Good luck! If you have any other questions, like about your dog, calling the Visitor Services of your local refuge is a great place to start to get answers.

Andre Reid's Gravatar Somewhat surprisingly, I first learned about National Wildlife Refuge Week up in Canada from a <a href="http://www.asaplock.com/">Toronto locksmith</a>, Pat Flynn. He and family have an annual tradition to visit the refuge at Harbor Island, MI and last year, our family enjoyed visits to Iroquois and Montezuma in NY for the first time -- a new tradition born!
