List of National Wildlife Refuges

1937

ESPN Outdoors On a late-fall day with a little wind, hunting in or near the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge complex can be a very confusing experience because there are so many birds in the air at the same time. Yet, this fall, California duck hunters are looking forward to a shorter season and reduced bag limits, especially in the middle of the state where the Sacramento Refuge complex lies. Last December, when USFWS did a survey of the 35,000 acres of the six refuges of the Sacramento Complex, it was estimated there were 1,276,773 ducks and 175,642 geese. www.espn.go.com /outdoors/conservation/columns/swan_james/1442591.html

Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex In 1937 the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, with the aid of the Civilian Conservation Corps, began the process of creating a refuge within dry, alkaline lands between the towns of Willows and Maxwell. The water flows in the refuge have to be controlled artificially, and the vegetation has to be managed actively through irrigation and burning, to ensure that the wetlands remain productive, and provide adequate food and resting places for the birds. There is a visitor's center at the Sacramento NWR, and routes for car tours on the Sacramento and Colusa sites, though visitors are allowed to leave their cars only at selected sites. encyclopedia.codeboy.net /wikipedia/s/sa/sacramento_national_wildlife_refuge_complex.html

MSN Encarta - California The San Joaquin River rises in the Sierra Nevada near Yosemite National Park and flows generally northward for 560 km (350 mi) to join the Sacramento River. Shasta Lake, behind Shasta Dam on the upper Sacramento River, is the largest reservoir in the state, and along with Clair Engle and Whiskeytown lakes, forms one of the largest national recreation areas in the nation. The Sacramento, the longest river within the state, flows generally southward for 607 km (377 mi) from its source at the base of Mount Shasta in the southern Cascade Mountains to its junction with the San Joaquin. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761561899/California.html

The Global Encyclopedia < Hotels > < Travel > Given their complex support bases it is difficult to specifically categorise the two major parties' appeal. During the 19th century, many new states were added to the original thirteen as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. After long debate, this was supplanted by the Constitution of a more centralized federal government in 1789. united-states.asinah.net /american-encyclopedia/wikipedia/b/be/belgium...

FARM SCENE: Biologists find cows make good company with some rare critters Similar evidence has been gathered by Joe Silveira, a wildlife biologist working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Willows. The 40,000-acre preserve just south of Sacramento is operated by the Nature Conservancy together with other environmental groups such as Ducks Unlimited, as well as the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the California Department of Fish and Game. Its mission is to preserve the streamside habitat and restore wetlands while demonstrating the compatibility of human uses, including ranching, with wildlife. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/02/15/financial0224EST0004.DTL

COMMENTS SOUGHT ON FUTURE PLANS FOR THE KERN NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE COMPLEX SACRAMENTO, California-- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is preparing a comprehensive conservation plan to guide the future management of the Kern National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Kern and Tulare counties. The Service manages the 93-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 500 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands, and other special management areas. The purpose of the comprehensive conservation plan is to describe how, over the next 15 years, the refuge complex can best be managed to conserve native plants and wildlife. www.r1.fws.gov /news/1999/9949.htm

docssacriver Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge Final Finding of No Significant Impact and Environmental Assessment For Proposed Restoration Activities (pdf file 9.15MB) As part of the National Wildlife Refuge System, the Sacramento River Refuge is required to have a CCP in place to guide the management of fish, wildlife, and plant habitats and public uses for a period of 15 years. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Sacramento River Refuge. pacific.fws.gov /planning/draft/docs/CA/docssacriver.htm

CWA - Places to Hunt For example, in the Sacramento Refuge Complex, hunters at Colusa must present reservations at the check station no later than one hour before shoot time; at Delevan it is 1-1/2 hours beforehand. That is not the case at the Lower Klamath Refuge Complex, where there is no shell limit. Also, most areas are open to hunting Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and regular hunting hours apply three days a week from sunrise to sunset; however, at Humboldt Bay Refuge, hunting is allowed seven days a week, and on the California portions of Klamath Basin Refuges hunting shuts down at 1 p.m. www.calwaterfowl.org /Hunting_2.htm

Compass - Spring 2003: Recent Publications of the Southern Research Station The objective of this study was to determine the response of herbaceous and woody plants to eight 3-week treatment application windows during a biennial growing-season burn cycle at the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia, USA. Benthic meiofauna were collected from the pools of minute (0 order) streams in the Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas during March 21-23, 1996 to see if benthic communities responded to forest harvest methods in a similar manner as plankton communities collected two years prior. Coleopteran assemblages were sampled monthly for one year using pitfall traps in replicated sites of three 5- to 7-year-old disturbance treatments and mature forested sand pine scrub in the Ocala National Forest, Marion County, Florida. www.srs.fs.usda.gov /pubs/rpc/2003-05/index.html

USFWS Refuge Questionaire This National Invasive Species Survey was developed for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wildlife Refuge System by the Biological Resource Division of the U.S. Geological Survey and the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University. The primary goal of this effort is to survey and report on the status of invasive plants, animals and diseases, beginning with a questionnaire survey of refuge managers and staff. This survey is not an evaluation or judgment of current management practices or priorities, and followup control efforts will depend on individual refuge operation priorities. www.nwrinvasives.com /survey

Petition to delist vernal pool crustaceans fails to make its case Vernal pool tadpole shrimp are known from 18 populations in the Sacramento Valley from east of Redding in Shasta County south through the Central Valley to the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge in Merced County, and from a single vernal pool complex in the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Alameda County. Tadpole shrimp are similar to fairy shrimp in that they live in vernal pools and seasonal wetlands, feed on similar food sources, and can produce cysts that are drought resistant. Tadpole shrimp are considered living fossils because their basic body characteristics have remained the same for millions of years. pacific.fws.gov /news/2000/2000-66.htm   (301 words)
