Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge

The Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge is a great place for families to explore and learn about nature. The refuge is part of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which includes several refuges and wildlife management areas. Visitors can enjoy a six-mile auto tour with viewing areas and walking trails, as well as a visitor center with exhibits and a bookstore. The refuge provides a range of habitats, including seasonal marshes, uplands, permanent ponds, and riparian areas, and is home to over 300 species of birds and mammals. Families can also participate in environmental education programs and hunting activities. The refuge is managed to maintain, recover, or enhance plant and wildlife values, and conservation efforts are in place to protect the area's natural resources
