Nulhegan Basin Division- Vermont
Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge
The Nulhegan Basin Division is part of the National Wildlife Refuge System and is managed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to preserve and protect a diverse assemblage of plants and animals. The Wildlife Refuge is in the remote corner of Vermont known as the Northeast Kingdom. The Division’ s headquarters and visitor center are located on Route 105 in Brunswick( about 10 miles east of Island Pond). The visitor center and exhibits are open 365 days a year, from 8AM to 4:30PM, and are free and open to the public. Popular activities include fishing, hunting, mountain biking, snowmobiling, wildlife observation, photography and environmental education. Visitor opportunities include over 40 miles of gravel roads, 10 miles of hiking trails, scenic vistas as well as access to remote areas off trails. ATVs, camping and horseback riding are not permitted.
The Wildlife Refuge consists of more than 45 square miles of conifer and deciduous forest interspersed with forested wetlands, peatlands and shrub swamps, and contains three of the four tributaries of the Nulhegan River. These lands are nested within a working forest landscape exceeding 150,000 acres. Located just a few miles south of the Canadian border, the Wildlife Refuge’ s vegetation most closely resembles that of the northern Appalachian Mountains, interspersed with elements of the boreal forest to the north. This Wildlife Refuge is known for abundant songbirds, particularly boreal species and warblers, and has been designated an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society.
