Visitor Alert! Long awaited road improvements are finally underway on the Refuge’s Wilna Tract. Construction has begun and is expected to last until approximately August 15. In the meantime, we hope to maintain daily access to Wilna Pond and the refuge Headquarters. Visitors are asked to be watchful in the presence of heavy equipment and to pay attention to temporary signs. Thanks for you patience while we work to improve visitor access.
