GTA National Elk Refuge
Acerca de
Each unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System is established to serve a statutory purpose that targets the conservation of native species dependent on its lands and waters. All activities on those acres are reviewed for compatibility with this statutory purpose.
The National Elk Refuge was established in 1912 as a "winter game reserve" to support the conservation of wintering elk and their habitat. Nearly a decade later, an Executive Order passed that expanded the purpose of the Refuge to include protections for bird nesting habitat. Today, the purpose has been broadened to include conservation of fish, wildlife, natural resources, and threatened or endangered species.
