About
The refuge preserves and maintains one of the best examples of maritime grassland remaining on Long Island, a globally rare plant community found on outwash plains. It is part of a unique wetland network known as the Cow Neck Complex, which provides essential habitat for black ducks and other waterbirds within the Atlantic Flyway. Managed as part of the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex, the refuge focuses on restoring natural areas and collaborating with the community to protect wildlife-dependent educational opportunities.
