Hello All,

The previously announced gravel project on the River S Unit is now scheduled. Please note the dates, as they will impact public access to the River S Unit over the next few weeks. Also, please share these dates with those within your Refuge community that may benefit from this information.



Closure of the River ?S? Unit; Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge

The River ?S? Unit of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge will be closed starting Monday, September 12th through Wednesday, September 28th for road improvements to the Auto Tour Route. While the River ?S? Unit is closed, new gravel will be added to the Auto Tour Route, additional vehicle passing turnouts will be constructed, and a short segment of road will be realigned to reduce wildlife disturbance.

The closure will impact all public use facilities associated with the River ?S? Unit including the entire length of the Auto Tour Route, the observation blind, and the Kiwa Trail. The Refuge?s Carty Unit will remain open during this period, as an optional Refuge destination. For additional information concerning the public use opportunities during this closure, please visit the Refuge website at http://ridgefieldrefuges.fws.gov or contact the Refuge office at (360) 887-4106.

Thanks
