Conscience Point National Wildlife Refuge

Description:
Established in 1971, the 60-acre refuge is primarily a mix of woodlands, grasslands, and salt marsh. This refuge contains a maritime grassland community, one of the few on Long Island. Wading birds and osprey are commonly observed in spring and summer; waterfowl, particularly black ducks, are abundant in winter. Entrance is by Special Use Permit only.

Management:
The refuge is managed for migratory birds and wintering waterfowl and to maintain habitat diversity.
