The US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is proposing to develop a Predator Control Plan for Archie Carr and Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs). This plan is a step-down from the Comprehensive Conservation Plans (CCP) developed for the refuges in 2006 (Pelican Island) and 2008 (Archie Carr). Consultation was initiated for both CCPs during those timeframes. The development for this plan falls under the CCP actions.
Learn about when the refuge was born and hear the Paul Kroegel story, historic milestones, and good information and significant dates after the first refuge was born !
Have you found a baby bird in your yard? See an injured bird on the road? Racoons in your attic?
Join us on Facebook and stay up to date on what is happening on the refuge.
Wildlife Tours are CANCELLED for 2021. FREE Wildlife Tours ! Join refuge volunteers as we take you on a journey through the refuge to observe wildlife.
Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge is managed as part of the Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
The National Wildlife Refuge System, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manages a national network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants.
Nature’s prime favourites were the Pelicans; High-fed, long-lived, and sociable and free. --James Montgomery
