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!
