Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge

The Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge is truly “for the birds.” The site’s managers grow high-protein grasses to attract nesting migratory waterfowl, and they offer a comprehensive informational service for the human visitors that are so important to its ongoing existence. The site emphasises the co-existence of nature and agriculture and the importance of watershed preservation, and also provides a glimpse into the ancient landscape.
