Oak Woodland Restoration
Beginning March 18, 2019, the Carty Unit at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge will undergo a process known as an “oak release.” This involves removing faster growing conifer trees, mainly Douglas fir, in order to create more ideal growing conditions for Oregon white oak trees. The project will involve temporary closure of the Oaks-to-Wetlands Trail north of the Oak Overlook on March 18, 2019 for up to three months. See more closure details below.
