About
The Lower Hatchie NWR was established in 1980 as an inviolate sanctuary for migratory birds. The refuge encompasses the lower reaches of the Hatchie River and consists of bottomland hardwoods, moist-soil units, agricultural fields, and associated uplands. The large forested tracts and aquatic features provide an important ecological niche for fish, wildlife, and plant species.
