Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge's 2,824 acres consist of
saltwater marsh, grassland, mixed deciduous woods and cropland. Because of
this great variety in habitat, many different species of birds are attracted to
the refuge throughout the year.
Harris
Neck National Wildlife Refuge is one of seven refuges administered by the Savannah Coastal Refuges
Complex. This chain of national wildlife refuges extends from Pinckney Island
NWR near Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, to Wolf Island National Wildlife
Refuge near Darien,
Georgia. Between these lie Savannah (the largest unit in the complex),
Wassaw, Tybee, Harris Neck, and Blackbeard Island refuges. Together they
span a 100-mile coastline and total nearly 57,000 acres. The Savannah
Coastal Refuges are administered from headquarters located in Savannah, Georgia. |
