Rules and Policies

Everything on the refuge is either a home or food for wildlife. Therefore, please remember… 

• Please do not feed wildlife, it causes more harm than good
• Do not leave bird seed along the trail—it attracts unwanted pests that can be harmful to birds & people.
• ‘Take only pictures, leave only footprints.”
• Use official trails only.
• Respect refuge boundary signs, closed areas and private property.
• Keep pets at home. Their presence disturbs wildlife.
• Keep a walking pace. Running triggers a flight response in wildlife.
• Keep your distance—respect nesting wildlife.
• Pack your garbage out with you.
• Keep noise levels low. You will have a better chance at seeing or hearing wildlife!
