Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge

Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge is 22,000 acres of Florida wetlands doing critical work. Ancient cypress swamps, marshes, and hardwood forests provide essential habitat for wood storks, black bears, and countless migrating birds. This isn’t flashy wilderness—it’s functional, vital landscape where water filters, wildlife thrives, and ecosystems stay balanced. Few people know its name, but the refuge does exactly what public lands should: protect what matters. Rep a refuge that proves conservation doesn’t need to be famous to be important.
