In partnership with Ducks Unlimited the refuge has begun the second phase of replacing aging culverts that connect various pools on the refuge. In Winter and Spring 2021, culverts will be replaced on the southern and northern ends of the Wildlife Loop (ie. Black Duck Pool/Snow Goose Pool and Snow Goose Pool/Shovelers Pool). These “water control structures” allow us to keep the pools filled during waterfowl season and draw down the water in spring & summer, providing habitat for our shorebirds and wading birds. There may be brief, temporary closures on the Wildlife Loop during this time. Please yield to construction workers and heavy equipment on the wildlife loop. Thank you for your patience, please stay safe.
