  History
Continued . . .

The Refuge is made up of ten land tract purchases and exchanges with the Bureau of Land Management and the State of Colorado. Since the first land acquisition, Refuge staff has used the existing irrigation infrastructure of the original ranches to create new wetland habitat for the benefit of migratory birds.
