Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge

The refuge spans 72.2 acres of land, containing three ponds, wetlands, and upland areas that support numerous species of birds and mammals.

The Two Ponds Preservation Foundation secured this land from development in 1990, leading to its official establishment as a refuge in 1992.

The refuge serves as an educational center where students participate in environmental programs focusing on local wildlife and ecological systems.

Visitors can explore three miles of trails, including Loop Trail 1 and Loop 2, which feature crushed gravel surfaces and observation points.

This location represents the smallest urban unit within the National Wildlife Refuge System, providing habitat for over 120 bird species.
