| Description |
Located in the towns of Mashpee and
Falmouth, this refuge will total 5,871
acres when complete, only a small
percentage of which will be owned
by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Currently, about 300 acres are in
FWS ownership. Managed through
a unique partnership among
eight federal, state and private
conservation groups, this Cape
Cod refuge preserves thousands of
acres of magnificent salt marshes,
cranberry bogs, Atlantic white cedar
swamps, freshwater marshes, and
a vernal pool. It provides habitat
for migratory waterfowl, songbirds, shorebirds, raptors, red fox, and white-tailed deer. Both educational
and recreational activities are offered
by several partnership groups
including the Waquoit Bay National
Estuarine Research Reserve.
