Projects and Research

Updated November 10, 2026

Our National Wildlife Refuges are places for everyone to learn about and discover the outdoors. This opportunity is utilized by numerous local graduate students from local universities and other government organizations over the years, researching the wide variety of wildlife and plant species that use or call DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge their home.

Besides graduate student research, Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge also utilizes citizen science projects to help improve our understanding of the natural world, enabling us to evaluate our management practices for our wildlife.
