The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a Federal agency whose mission, working with others, is to conserve fish and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. Under the management of fish and wildlife professionals, the National Wildlife Refuge System has become the world’s premier network of wildlife habitats.

A hundred years in the making, the National Wildlife Refuge System is a network of carefully chosen habitats that support abundant wildlife, protect a healthy environment, and provide un paralleled outdoor experiences for all Americans. You can use the internet to find a refuge near you. Log on to www.fws.gov or call 1-800-344-WILD.

The National Wildlife Refuge System is one of America’s greatest conservation success stories. In its first hundred years, it helped save our national symbol, the American bald eagle, from extinction and has protected hundreds of other wild species—including—fish, migratory birds, and many other plants and animals and the habitats that support them, all while offering spectacular outdoor experiences to millions of visitors.

When President Theodore Roosevelt made Florida's tiny Pelican Island a refuge for birds in 1903, he wrote the first chapter of a great American conservation success story. Entering its second century, the National Wildlife Refuge System comprises 150 million acres, protected within more than 550 Refuges and thousands of small prairie wetlands that serve as waterfowl breeding and nesting areas. There are wildlife refuges in every State, and at least one within an hour's drive of every major American city, providing refuge for people as well as wildlife.

National Wildlife Refuges are far more than havens for wild plants and animals. In fact, visitors–more than 40 million each year–are welcome on 98 percent of wildlife refuges, where they are encouraged to take part in outdoor pursuits designated by law as priority activities offered by the National Wildlife Refuge System. From environmental education and interpretation to hunting and fishing to photography and wildlife watching, refuges offer visitors the most natural and wild outdoor experience, teaching millions the importance of taking care of our natural resources.

This map shows the approved boundaries for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Private holdings exist within some of these boundaries.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a Federal Agency whose mission, working with others, is to conserve fish and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

• National Wildlife Refuge

National Wildlife Refuge SystemA Century of Conservation A hundred years in the making,

the National Wildlife Refuge System is a network of habitats that benefit wildlife, provide unparalleled outdoor experiences

for all Americans, and protect a healthy environment. Since President Theodore

Roosevelt designated Florida’s Pelican Island as the first wildlife refuge in 1903, this network of protected lands has grown to encompass more than 540 wildlife refuges and more than 3,000 small waterfowl breeding and nesting areas. Refuges are special places where the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and its partners restore, protect, and manage habitat for America’s wildlife. Today, there is a least one wildlife refuge in each of the 50 states, and one within an hour’s drive of most major U.S. citites.

“When up with the birds.” Arrive in the early

morning (or late afternoon) when wildlife is most active.

America’s Best Kept SecretNational wildlife refuges are not just for wild plants and animals. In fact, visitors—nearly 40 million each year—are welcome on 98 percent of wildlife refuge land. Visitors join in a variety of outdoor activites, especially photography, fishing, wildlife watching, hunting, interpretation, and environmental education.

Wildlife refuges host recreational hunters at more than 300 locations and welcome anglers at more than 260—a testament to the abundant wildlife resulting from successful conservation and management programs. Birdwatchers from around the globe visit wildlife refuges to be awed by amazing congregations of our feathered friends, numbering in the tens of thousands at peak migration in many locations. And there is no better place than a wildlife refuge for children and adults alike to learn about the natural world. More than 230 wildlife refuges attract visitors with innovative enducational programs showing how we manage refuges to ensure the future generations can experience America’s wilderness. Still, the discovery opportunities don’t end with wildlife. Wildlife refuges also protect important historic sites, from Native American campsites to World War II artifacts, preserving interesting facets of the American culture.

From the Smallest Beginning... Why Wildlife Refuges?President Theodore Roosevelt established the first wildlife refuge in 1903, Florida’s 3-acre Pelican Island, to protect egrets, herons, and other birds from market hunters who killed these birds by the thousands to satisfy turn-of-the-century fashion demands. From this humble beginning, Americans have embraced the concept of providing unique places for wildlife to flourish, while also allowing for many forms of wildlife-dependent recreation. Through cooperative efforts with a growing number

of partners and committed citizens, the National Wildlife Refuge System has become a model of stewardship where all Americans and international visitors can enjoy our precious natural resources.

The National Wildlife Refuge System is the only network of federal land dedicated specifically to wildlife conservation. Home to more than 700 species of birds, 220 different mammals, 250 reptiles, and more than 200 kinds of fish, the amazing variety of wildlife found on refuges

reflects America’s bountiful natural heritage. Many wildlife refuges were createdto protect and enhance the resting and feeding grounds of migratory birds, creating a chain of stepping stones along major migration routes. Others were established to conserve the natural home of our rarest wild species, including bald eagles, bison, and whooping cranes.

Contact the wildlife refuge before you visit for up-to-date

information on access, special activites, weather conditions, and more.

Watch wildlife from a distance.

When you approach a wild animal, it may defend itself or flee, but from a distance you can see its normal behavior.

When President Theodore Roosevelt made Florida's tiny Pelican Island a refuge for birds in 1903, he wrote the first chapter of a great American conservation success story. Entering its second century, the National Wildlife Refuge System comprises 150 million acres, protected within more than 550 Refuges and thousands of small prairie wetlands that serve as waterfowl breeding and nesting areas. There are wildlife refuges in every State, and at least one within an hour's drive of every major American city, providing refuge for people as well as wildlife.

National Wildlife Refuges are far more than havens for wild plants and animals. In fact, visitors–more than 40 million each year–are welcome on 98 percent of wildlife refuges, where they are encouraged to take part in outdoor pursuits designated by law as priority activities offered by the National Wildlife Refuge System. From environmental education and interpretation to hunting and fishing to photography and wildlife watching, refuges offer visitors the most natural and wild outdoor experience, teaching millions the importance of taking care of our natural resources.

This map shows the approved boundaries for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Private holdings exist within some of these boundaries.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a Federal Agency whose mission, working with others, is to conserve fish and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
