Visit
the Fall - Winter
River 'S' Discovery Auto Tour
The River 'S' Discovery Auto Tour route is a one-way
4.2-mile loop on graveled road that is open every
day to vehicles during daylight hours. A Fall/Winter
informative Audio Tour CD is available now
at the Visitor's Station at the entrance to the
Auto Tour Route and
also at the refuge headquarters. This CD coordinates
with 14 markers set along the Discovery Tour Route.
There is no cost for the CD but it's return would
be appreciated.
Winter at the Refuge Winter is synonymous with geese at the refuge.
The skies and many of the fields fill with the musical,
cackling/honking sounds of Canada Geese. In 1965 Ridgefield
NWR was created primarily as a winter refuge for the
Dusky Canada Goose. Today the Dusky along with many
other canada goose sub-species populate the winter scene.
Come and enjoy the sights and sounds of the geese along
with many other winter wildlife!
We Need Your Help! We are grateful to our members and volunteers.
However, it takes cash to run our programs and offer
the great learning and outdoor experiences the Friends
sponsor. We need your help. Cuts in federal grant funding
have jeopardized our ability to sustain operations at
the Plankhouse. We are projecting a $25,000 shortfall
for the last three quarters of 2012. Please
