ABOUT TEXAS MID-COAST NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE COMPLEX
The Texas Mid-coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex hosts the following three National Wildlife Refuges located in Brazoria and Matagorda Counties in Texas:
These refuge habitats are comprised of saltwater, fresh water, and brackish wetlands. In addition, the refuges boast salt and mud flats and lakes and streams, in addition to woody thickets, old-growth woods, and prairies. These varied habitats provide a safe home for numerous plants and animals. Many animals use the refuges as a stopover during their migration or as a home-away-from-home during the winter months. Over 425 species of wildlife use the refuges during all or part of their life cycle. The FOBWR invites you to “visit” the refuges online, and especially, in person. |
