Your Living World* (also see World Conservation Award)

Gather information about pollution and recycling in The Wisdom of Wildness exhibits.

Family Fun

10b. Plan a walk. Go to a park or a wooded area, or visit a zoo or museum with your family.

Come and visit the refuge and walk on our trails through different habitats. There are over 25 miles of trails at the National Wildlife Visitor Center and North Tract. Maps are available at both locations.

The Arrow Point Trail:

Birds* (also see World Conservation Award)

13a. Make a list of all the birds you saw in a week and tell where you saw them (field, forest, marsh, yard, or park).

Plan to visit the refuge either once during your bird watching week, or visit everyday for a week and make a list of the birds you see. A bird list is available at the National Wildlife Visitor Center and North Tract. Use a bird field guide to identify the birds you see.

Outdoor Adventure

Visit the North Tract of the refuge and ask a staff member where you can go to see some fish.
