Julia Butler Hansen Refuge
“Julia Butler Hansen Refuge contains over 6,000 acres of pastures, forested tidal swamps, brushy woodlots, marshes and sloughs along the Columbia River in both Washington and Oregon. Diverse habitats that support the endangered Columbian white-tailed deer also benefit a large variety of wintering and migratory birds, Roosevelt elk, river otter, reptiles and amphibians, and nesting bald eagles, great horned owls and osprey.”
The refuge was created specifically to protect the Columbian white-tailed deer—a species (arguably) described by Meriwether Lewis. (See Columbian Black-Tailed Deer on our educational website.)
Refuge highlights include a roadside blind for spotting deer, Center Road Trail, and Tenasillahe Islands Trail.
