The folks over at Plain Adventure have put together a list of their Top 10 National Wildlife Refuges.
These sometimes overlooked natural areas provide vital habitat and recreation for animals and their human admirers. So many great places, including the Wichita Mountains NWR in Oklahoma, Charles M. Russell NWR in Montana, Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico... Okefenokee, Kenai, Chincotegue, Kilauea Point. Familiar names, perhaps. Incredible environmental treasures - absolutely.
One they must have forgotten, and an all-time favorite of mine, is the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. Flowing through the driftless bluffs of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois, the UMRNWFR is a river sanctuary suitable for the dreams of ol' Huckleberry Finn himself.
