Abstract:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's national wildlife refuge system is marking 100 years of setting lands aside for wildlife. The system totals over 95 million acres or an area about the size of Montana. In North Carolina there are eleven national wildlife refuges, stretching from Pea Island on the Outer Banks to the Pee Dee in the western piedmont.
