Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Limestone, Maine.
Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area in Limestone with diverse habitats for wildlife. It combines wetlands, forests, and open fields that support various bird, mammal, and plant species.
The land was originally a military base but was converted to a conservation area in 1998. The transformation of the former Loring Air Force Base site marked the start of preservation work on this land.
The refuge's name reflects the Aroostook region, an area with deep roots in understanding natural systems. Visitors encounter a place where local communities have long recognized the importance of this landscape for wildlife.
The refuge has 13 miles of walking trails and two observation areas accessible from sunrise to sunset. Visitors should prepare for changing seasons, as wildlife viewing varies depending on migration timing.
The refuge manages additional wetlands scattered across Aroostook County. These extended zones play a key role in sustaining woodcock and waterfowl populations throughout the region.
