Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge

Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a prairie wetland oasis in Montana’s glaciated plains—31,000 acres of critical habitat for migratory birds, waterfowl, and grassland species. This refuge represents the unglamorous but essential work of conservation: protecting stopover sites that make continental migrations possible. No mountains, no fame, just vital wetlands doing what they’ve done for millennia. Rep a refuge that proves not all important places are scenic overlooks.
