September Seminar -- Presentation on Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge

Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge annually hosts thousands of overwintering sandhill cranes, ducks, geese, pelicans and other waterfowl. It also hosts an increasing number of majestic and endangered Whooping cranes. The 34,500 acres of varied habitat on the refuge—wetlands, open water, mixed forests, sloughs and agricultural fields provide a home to almost 300 species of birds, plus mammals and reptiles including bobcats, otters, deer, coyotes and, yes, alligators! The refuge was established in 1938 and the ensuing decades have seen a change in the wildlife that are present on the refuge. Come hear about this natural wonder and learn about the birds and other wildlife that inhabit the refuge's 34,500 acres, and how those inhabitants have changed over the years.

This presentation will be delivered by Tom Ress.
