Description:
Fox River NWR, approximately 60 miles to the west of Horicon NWR in Marquette County, is managed as an unstaffed unit. The Refuge is an important breeding and staging area for the greater sandhill crane. The Refuge has 10 distinct plant communities ranging from upland coniferous and deciduous woodlands to five wetland communities. This plant diversity is responsible for the presence of about 160 different species of wildlife. Species diversity of this extent within a relatively small confined area is not found in many other parts of Wisconsin.
