Juiiior Refuge Ranger Workbook

Silvio 0. Conte National Fish & Wildlife Refuge

Silvio 0. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge was established to

conserve the abundance and diversity of native plants and animals

and their habitats in the 7.2 million acre Connecticut River water­

shed in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Silvio 0. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge is one of more than

560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System- an extensive

network of lands and waters set aside specifically for fish, wildlife,

and plants. President Theodore Roosevelt designated the first

national wildlife refuge in 1903. Some refuges are only half an acre

in size, while others span millions of acres!
