Review:

Established in 2000, the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge is part of the country’s National Wildlife Refuge System, located just outside of town, about thirty miles away from the city of Baton Rouge. The refuge was created in an effort to “conserve, restore, and manage” the area’s native forest wetland habitats for threatened and endangered animals and plants, aquatic resources, and migratory birds. Recreation activities possible within the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge include hiking, wildlife viewing, photography, paddling, interpretive programs, and fishing. The Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge was also established to encourage partnerships with conservation organizations and local communities.
