平克尼島國家野生動物保護區

This 4,053-acre refuge includes Pinckney Island, Corn Island, Big and Little Harry Islands, Buzzard Island and numerous small hammocks. Pinckney is the largest of the islands and the only one open to public use. These lands were donated to the federal government in 1975 by private owners with the sole purpose of preserving their wildlife resources. Almost 67% of the refuge consists of marshes and tidal streams. However, on Pinckney Island there is a wide variety of land types, including forests, grasslands and freshwater ponds. In combination, these habitats support a diversity of wildlife species. The blue goose is the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
