Welcome
Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge located in the rural towns of Alabama and Shelby mid-way between Rochester and Buffalo, NY has been described as one of the best kept secrets of Western New York. Teeming with wildlife and wild lands the Refuge offers opportunities for the public to experience nature in all seasons. The Refuge is one of over 500 National Wildlife Refuges in the United States which are managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Wildlife Refuge System is the only network of federal lands dedicated specifically to wildlife conservation.
What's Happening
PARDON OUR DUST!
We are updating and expanding the refuge office building. During renovations, which are to begin March 1, 2012, we will be relocating. A trailer parked in the rear lot will serve as the Visitor Contact Station and Flyway Nature Store. Administrative Offices will be in the refuge-owned house to the west of the refuge office building. Construction is slated to be completed by the end of August.
