  • Urban Refuge Program of the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Urban Refuge Program of the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area 2016 Rept: Cover art created by Simone Carsey, a volunteer for Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge and student at Southridge High School in Beaverton, OR. Building upon the many relationships that marked the first year of the Urban Refuge Program in 2015, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) continued to engage the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area in 2016 through its four local National Wildlife Refuges: Tualatin River, Ridgefield, Steigerwald Lake, and Wapato Lake. Pivotal to the success of these unique places within the landscape of public lands are our Friends groups — Friends of Tualatin River Refuge, Friends of Ridgefield Refuge, and the Columbia Gorge Refuge Stewards — who have joined us in this journey to engage an ever-changing community in relevant and meaningful ways. As we continue to calibrate the compass of the Urban Refuge Program and adjust to lessons learned, we invite you to take a journey through our engagement at these beautiful refuges, in vibrant neighborhoods, and with growing community coalitions. National Wildlife Refuges natural places to build community National Wildlife Refuges hold a special place among public lands. They have an expressed purpose to manage and restore lands for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, and provide opportunities for people to learn about and engage with nature. Refuges simultaneously offer a view to the past, present, and future of the human relationship to the natural world. We are fortunate to have four examples of this relationship in the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area.
