Tulelake National Wildlife Refuge, located in the fertile Tule Lake Basin of northeast California, was established in 1928 as a preserve and breeding ground for wild birds and animals. Covering 39,116 acres, the refuge is dedicated to wildlife conservation, particularly waterfowl management, while also considering agricultural use. It is home to endangered species such as the Lost River and shortnose suckers, as well as serving as a significant staging area for migrating waterfowl. The refuge features 13,000 acres of open water surrounded by 17,000 acres of commercial croplands, with crops including small grains, potatoes, onions, sugar beets, and alfalfa. The residual grain stubble left after harvest provides an important food source for migrating waterfowl. Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking and hunting, and the refuge also houses a visitor center for educational purposes.Generated from the website
