Happy Birthday to the National Wildlife Refuge System! By U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Northeast Region

On March 14, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt established the first national wildlife refuge at Pelican Island, Florida, to protect brown pelicans from slaughter by market hunters.

One hundred twenty-three years later, the National Wildlife Refuge System includes more than 570 national wildlife refuges, 38 wetland management districts and five marine national monuments. With progress like that, celebrating is as easy as 1-2-3!
