Believe it or not, there are eight (yes - 8!) National Wildlife Refuges on the Delmarva peninsula, with six of them open for public visitation. These refuges attract visitors from all over the world, particularly for the birding opportunities, but also for kayaking, hiking, fishing, biking, and hunting.
While each refuge is a little different from the next, they all have one thing in common: their mission. As stated by the Department of the Interior, their objective is “to conserve, manage, and restore fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats, as well as provide quality wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities that foster wildlife conservation for the enjoyment of future generations.”
Take some time this season to explore one or two refuges - or all of them!
