Pee Dee National Wildlife Refugfe

Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge is located in Anson and Richmond Counties approximately six miles north of Wadesboro, NC. The site consists of a variety of habitat types along the Yadkin-Pee Dee River. Freshwater wetlands are found throughout and include small creeks, five ponds, one lake, two moist soil units, six impoundments and one green-tree reservoir. Uplands inlcuding mixed deciduous forests, upland pine forests, old fields and farmland are found throughout. Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1965 "for use as an inviolate sanctuary, or for any other management purpose for migratory birds." It is located adjacent to the famous "Lockhart Daddy Wild Goose Refuge" that provided sanctuary to over 15,000 Canadian Geese during the 40s, 50s and 60s.
