WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE
REFUGE SYSTEM!
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.
