This 13,000 acre plus wetland complex consists of seasonally flooded bottomland hardwood forests, impoundments, and croplands. During the winter, a 4,000 acre greentree reservoir is created when the bottomland hardwood forests are allowed to flood. This seasonally flooded area provides a haven for mallards, wood ducks, and other waterfowl species. This refuge is a wetland complex within the watershed of Overflow Creek which flows southerly along the length of the refuge. On the west boundary, there are only about 100 acres of uplands found on a narrow strip along the escarpment that separates the Mississippi Delta from the Coastal Plain. The majority of the refuge is bottomland hardwood forest consisting primarily of willow and overcup oaks. Willow oaks, found here in abundance, produce small acrons that are an excellent source of food for the mallards and wood ducks that make their winter home here. Throughout the refuge are a number of impoundments, where the water and the plants are managed to benefit wildlife living on the refuge, especially waterfowl. These areas, called moist soil units, are very important in excuring that there is enough food for the birds that spend the winter here. Natural foods provide essential nutrients for birds to survive the winter and nest successfully in the spring. These moist soil units, along with the croplands, and bottomland hardwoods forest provide a mix of habitats that support a variety of wildlife throughout the year.Overflow Refuge headquarters is located off of Arkansas Highway 8 approximately 15 miles east of Hamburg and 5 miles west of Parkdale .870-473-2869 Or 870-364-3167felsenthal@fws.gov115531084Ozark Cavefish National Wildlife Refugehttp://midwest.fws.gov/ozarkcavefishOzark Cavefish National Wildlife Refuge, located twenty miles west of Springfield in Lawrence County, MO, was acquired in 1991 to protect a Federally endangered species, the Ozark cavefish.

Perpetual conservation easements on private lands have been purchased by the Service. Land management activities are the responsibility of the landowners, not the Service. These wetlands and associated grasslands, complemented by two national wildlife refuges and four state wildlife areas, comprise over 160,000 acres and are collectively known as the Grasslands Ecological Area. This area is extremely important to Pacific Flyway populations of 19 duck species and 6 goose species. The Grasslands Ecological Area has been officially recognized as an integral unit of the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network. Large concentrations of migratory waterfowl, wading birds, and shorebirds are common and easily observed during late winter and early spring.The public is not permitted on the Grasslands Wildlife Management Area, as the Service did not acquire public use rights. It can be viewed from adjacent public roads, primarily Santa Fe Grade Road, which bisects the north and south Grasslands in a northwest-southeast direction, north and south of Los Banos.209-826-3508Kim_Forrest@fws.gov114191084Harbor Island National Wildlife Refugehttp://midwest.fws.gov/HarborIslandHarbor Island National Wildlife Refuge is located just off the northwest shore of Drummond Island in Potagannissing Bay on Lake Huron.

The refuge primarily consists of 40,000 acres of wet meadows and open water wetlands. This large natural marsh, with a backdrop of the Cascade Mountain Range in central Oregon, encompasses the upper reaches of the Williamson River and provides important nesting, feeding, and staging habitat for waterfowl and sandhill crane. The refuge also appears to be one of the last remaining strongholds of the spotted frog, a candidate for the endangered species list. This refuge along with the 15,000 acres of wetlands on the nearby Upper Klamath Refuge has a rich cultural heritage. It includes part of the historic lands and former reservation used by the Klamath tribes. The initial tract of 16,400 acres was purchased from the Klamath Indians with Federal Duck Stamp funds in 1958. Additional acquisitions from private landowners over the last 10 years have boosted the refuge to its current size. The Tribes have a keen interest in ongoing management activities due to their historic ties to the marshlands.From Klamath Falls, Oregon: travel north on Highway 97 approximately 45 miles.

The 68,000-acre site is home to about 85 burros. During the late 1800's, miners used burros as pack animals while prospecting for gold and silver in the Marietta Mining District. Some of these animals escaped or were released into the desert area surrounding Teels Marsh. The descendants of those burros now roam freely near the ruins of the historic Nevada mining town of Marietta, and through the marshlands. The Marietta herd is unique in Nevada, since this is one of the most northern burro populations of any size. Also, the animals themselves are larger than those encountered in areas to the south. In addition to up-close burro viewing, the range also offers opportunities for historical interpretation. The town of Marietta, which flourished when borax was in high demand, is now mostly old foundations and stone walls.From Hawthorne: Travel south on Interstate 95.

Together, these refuges encompass approximately 163,000 acres of wetland and upland habitats, freshwater and brackish water marshes, cottonwood and willow riparian areas, alkali playas, salt desert shrub lands, sand dunes, and a 500-acre rocky island in a desert lake. Nearly 400 wildlife species, including more than 260 bird species rely on these habitats. The refuges provide important migration, breeding, and wintering habitat for up to 1 million migratory birds, including waterfowl, shorebirds, colonial nesting water birds, and neotropical migratory birds. Stillwater and Fallon Refuges are part of the Lahontan Valley Shorebird Reserve, one of only 16 sites recognized for their international importance by the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network. The Lahontan Valley wetlands also are listed as a Globally Important Bird Area by the American Bird Conservancy. Anaho Island Refuge provides secure habitat for one of the largest American white pelican breeding colonies in the western United States.

It is located in the Detroit River off shore from Wyandotte, Michigan, from where it takes its name. The Refuge is situated in what was once one of the most significant migratory staging areas for diving ducks in the United States. Extensive beds of aquatic vegetation, particularly wild celery, attracted large concentrations of divers, primarily canvasback and scaup. In the past 100 years, discharges from the steel and chemical industry and municipal sewage effluent along with the effects of large, deep draft vessels have degraded the lower Detroit River ecosystem, resulting in the substantial decline of these preferred foods. Grassy Island was used a a confined disposal facility for contaminated dredge spoil in the 60's and 70's. Due to this activity, Grassy is now primarily colonized by phragmites (common reed), and resident wildlife is scarce. Mammajuda Island no longer has significant land above the waterline. Only a remnant of the once vast rafts of migratory waterfowl are now seen at Wyandotte.Public access is not permitted on either island.newsturgeonwyandotte.jpgsturgeon517-777-5930doug_spencer@.fws.gov116801005Bizz Johnson Trailhttp://www.ca.blm.gov/eaglelake/bizztrail.htmlFollowing the old Fernley and Lassen Branch Line of the Southern Pacific railroad, the trail winds 25.4 miles from Susanville to Mason Station.

The late conservationist and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr. made significant contributions to several national parks including Grand Teton, Acadia, Great Smoky Mountains, and Virgin Islands. <P>In 1972 Congress dedicated a 24,000 acre parcel of land as John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway to recognize his generosity and foresight. Congress also named the highway from the south boundary of Grand Teton to West Thumb in Yellowstone in honor of Rockefeller. <P>The parkway provides a natural link between the two national parks and contains features characteristic of both areas. In the parkway, the Teton Range tapers to a gentle slope at its northern edge, while rocks born of volcanic flows from Yellowstone line the Snake River and form outcroppings scattered atop hills and ridges. <P>Grand Teton National Park administers John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. <P>http://www.nps.gov/jodr/pphtml/maps.htmlhttp://data2.itc.nps.gov/parks/jodr/ppphotos/acf3d0%2ejpgHeadquarters 307-739-3300 <br>GRTE_Superintendent@nps.gov127821093Joshua Tree National Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/jotr/Joshua Tree National Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/directions.htm(760) 367 5500jotr_info@nps.gov127001093Fort Raleigh National Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/fora/Fort Raleigh National Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/fora/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/fora/planyourvisit/directions.htm(252) 473 5772caha_information@nps.gov128001093Lake Mead National Recreation Areahttp://www.nps.gov/lame/Lake Mead National Recreation Areahttp://www.nps.gov/lame/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/lame/planyourvisit/directions.htm(702) 293 8990lame_interpretation@nps.gov128011093Lake Meredith National Recreation Areahttp://www.nps.gov/lamr/Lake Meredith National Recreation Areahttp://www.nps.gov/lamr/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/lamr/planyourvisit/directions.htm(806) 857 3151Lamr_Interpretation@nps.gov128031093Lassen Volcanic National Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/lavo/Lassen Volcanic National Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/lavo/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/lavo/planyourvisit/directions.htm(530) 595 4444LAVO_information@nps.gov129111093San Antonio Missions National Historical Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/saan/San Antonio Missions National Historical Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/saan/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/saan/planyourvisit/directions.htm(210) 932 1001saan_superintendent@nps.gov129131093Saint Croix Island International Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/sacr/Saint Croix Island International Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/sacr/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/sacr/planyourvisit/directions.htm(207) 454 3871acadia_information@nps.gov126331093Charles Pinckney National Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/chpi/Charles Pinckney National Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/chpi/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/chpi/planyourvisit/directions.htm(843) 881 5516fosu_information@nps.gov126341093Christiansted National Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/chri/Christiansted National Historic Sitehttp://www.nps.gov/chri/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/chri/planyourvisit/directions.htmCHRI_Web_Requests@nps.gov129271093Saratoga National Historical Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/sara/Saratoga National Historical Parkhttp://www.nps.gov/sara/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/sara/planyourvisit/directions.htm(518) 664 9821SARA_info@nps.gov129291093Scotts Bluff National Monumenthttp://www.nps.gov/scbl/Scotts Bluff National Monumenthttp://www.nps.gov/scbl/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/scbl/planyourvisit/directions.htmSCBL_ranger_activities@nps.gov129311093Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parkshttp://www.nps.gov/seki/Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parkshttp://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/directions.htmhttp://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/directions.htm(559) 565 3341SEKI_Interpretation@nps.gov128691084Suitland Parkwayhttp://www.nps.gov/nace/Suitland ParkwayWelcome to National Capital Parks-East!
