Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge

Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge protects 8,000 acres of prairie wetlands in southeastern North Dakota—critical habitat along the Central Flyway where millions of migrating birds stop to rest and refuel. This working refuge balances wildlife conservation with sustainable grazing, proving that protection and use can coexist. Glacial hills, native grasslands, and seasonal marshes create a landscape most people drive past without knowing what they’re missing. Rep a refuge doing quiet, essential work for waterfowl, shorebirds, and the prairie ecosystem.
