This is my sanctuary, an oasis in the rush and clamor of urban life. This is my retreat, a haven of marsh, woods and wildlife, where my spirit is refreshed. This is my refuge.
When Congress established it, they set three mandates by which the refuge should be managed:
- To restore wetlands, wherever possible;
- To promote environmental education;
- To provide wildlife-oriented recreation opportunities for visitors.
We invite you to visit our refuge and to see for yourself just how well we have lived up to these Congressional mandates.
