The unit must be located within 25 miles of an urban area of 250,000 residents or greater to be designated as an urban national wildlife refuge. These refuges provide communities with ample green space for outdoor recreation, including hiking, bird watching, canoeing, fishing, and hunting. These refuges are located in the United States. They also provide a variety of educational opportunities. Over 80% of the population of the United States lives in urban areas.. Having access to a wildlife preserve not only enhances our quality of life but also improves our quality of life.
The John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the first urban national wildlife refuge established in the United States. Established in 1972, the 1000-acre refuge also includes a 285-acre freshwater tidal marsh. This is a great way to see wildlife up close and personal. In more than 30 states, the US Department of Interior has listed 100 more urban wildlife refuges since then.
The day encourages us to explore the wildlife refuges near where we live. Whether hiking or canoeing, enjoy nature at its best. In the fresh air, take in the beauty and breathe in the fresh air.
