The North Mississippi Refuges Complex was established in 1989 to manage U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands in north Mississippi. Staff based in Grenada manage lands throughout 29 counties, including Coldwater River, Dahomey and Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuges (NWR). These refuges were established to protect wetlands, like bottomland hardwood forests, and provide wintering waterfowl habitat within the Mississippi Alluvial Valley.
