Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a federal agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the benefit of the American public. With over 560 national wildlife refuges and numerous fish hatcheries across the country, the agency engages in extensive conservation efforts and public education to promote sustainable interactions with natural ecosystems.

Established in 1871, the Service plays a vital role in managing fish and wildlife resources in the public trust while addressing contemporary challenges such as climate change, habitat preservation, and wildlife trafficking. Their diverse programs invite public involvement through volunteering, educational opportunities, and the purchasing of duck stamps to support conservation initiatives.
