Little River National Wildlife Refuge was established on Feb. 10, 1987 as the nation’s 438th refuge. The 14,216 acre refuge preserves one of the last remaining remnants of the once extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem of the Little River floodplain. The bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem provides essential habitat for a diversity of migratory birds and resident wildlife species in Oklahoma. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers the refuge system and is responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing the nation’s fish and wildlife populations and their habitats for the continuing benefit of people.
