William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Benton County, Oregon.
The refuge spans 5,706 acres of wetlands, oak savannah, and Douglas fir forests in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon.
The refuge, established in 1964, contains the Fiechter House from 1855, which stands as the oldest building in Benton County.
The refuge bears the name of William L. Finley, who convinced President Theodore Roosevelt to establish the first wildlife refuge west of Mississippi.
Visitors access twelve miles of trails for hiking and photography, with seasonal closures from November through March to protect wintering geese.
The refuge maintains specific grass cultivation through partnerships with local farmers to sustain the nutrition needs of dusky Canada geese.
