Georgia National Wildlife Refuges

The coast of Georgia is lined with a string of barrier islands in which the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service operates and maintains several wildlife refuges. These refuges are teeming with birds and other wildlife. Most, but not all, are open to the public. Those that are accessible offer the nature lover incredible opportunities to explore and bird watch. Two others are located in the central part of the state.
