Lake Nettie National Wildlife Refuge, located in Coleharbor, North Dakota, is a vital habitat for migratory birds in the Central Flyway. Managed by the Audubon Wetland Management District, the refuge provides a sanctuary for thousands of geese and ducks during their spring and fall migrations.
The refuge, situated in the Prairie Pothole Region, safeguards critical nesting grounds for various groups of migratory birds, including waterfowl, songbirds, wading birds, and secretive marsh birds. Established through presidential executive orders in response to declining bird populations, Lake Nettie National Wildlife Refuge is dedicated to the conservation and restoration of fish, wildlife, and plant resources for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans.
