The Washita National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1961, spans approximately 8,075 acres in western Oklahoma and offers critical habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl within the Central Flyway. It is recognized for its commitment to wildlife conservation, particularly for species such as the whooping crane and a variety of migratory birds.
In addition to waterfowl, the Refuge supports diverse resident wildlife, including deer, coyotes, and bobcats, through effective management of wetlands and uplands. The ongoing Comprehensive Conservation Plan process aims to guide the Refuge's management strategies over the next 15 years, enhancing opportunities for public engagement in wildlife-dependent recreational activities.
