Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge Details

The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Southeast Texas is a 37,000-acre area dedicated to growing and enhancing the coastal marshes and prairie lands along Galveston Bay. The management creates nesting spots for the migratory birds of the area and controls the habitats so these birds can procreate. At the refuge, the Mottle Duck in particular is a concern for the management as its numbers dwindle. Nature trails abound at the refuge for visitors to enjoy.
