Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge

The Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is managed as part of the Northern Maine NWR Complex, which also includes Aroostook NWR, Sunkhaze Meadows NWR and Carlton Pond Waterfowl Production Area.

Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge is one of the northernmost National Wildlife Refuges in the Atlantic Flyway, a migratory route that follows the eastern coast of North America. The refuge provides important feeding and nesting habitat for many bird species, including waterfowl, wading birds, shorebirds, upland game birds, songbirds, and birds of prey.

The refuge consists of two divisions that cover 29,339 acres. The refuge headquarters are located in the Baring Division (20,531 acres) and is located off U.S. Route 1, southwest of Calais, Maine. The Edmunds Division (8,808 acres) is between Dennysville and Whiting on U.S. Route 1 and borders the tidal waters of Cobscook Bay. Each division contains a National Wilderness Area--thousands of acres managed to preserve their wild character for future generations.
