What do you do here?
[blockquote]Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge was established as a refuge for migratory waterfowl and wading birds. There are over 21,000 acres within the refuge boundaries, mostly marsh, rivers and lakes. The staff constantly maintains the area to provide shelter, nesting, and feeding habitat for these birds, and maintains the Public Use Area to provide a safe and pleasant place for visitors to observe nature. Some of our maintenance programs include controlled burns when and where necessary; permitted hunting to control the deer and feral hog population; and mowing and road maintenance for access to the Public Use Areas. Ongoing surveys are conducted to determine how many birds and other wildlife are utilizing the refuge and if environmental conditions are affecting their existence. Environmental programs and tours are presented to kindergarten through high school students, scout groups, environmental groups and just about any group that is interested.[/blockquote]
