What will be taking place?
Many Refuges throughout the country use prescribed fire (aka Rx fire), which are fires set under controlled conditions to improve wildlife habitat or remove burnable trees and grass to reduce the risk of intense wildfires. In 2023, the Refuge and our partners (National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, WA Department of Natural Resources) anticipate treating approximately 142 acres in 5 fields on Bachelor Island and one field on the River S unit adjacent to the Auto Tour Route. This will be the second prescribed fire season on the Refuge (the first was 2018, when we treated 27 ac). All units are at least ¾ mile from houses and separated by Lake River and/or Bachelor Slough to avoid risk to the public. Additional safety measures are in place to ensure the prescribed burn is controlled if weather conditions change along with having mowed control lines.
Why do we use this land management practice?
Our goals are to improve habitat for Columbian white-tailed deer, Canada geese, and sandhill cranes, all of which will benefit from the field improvements. Fire removes thatch and some weeds, and makes nutrients more available to plants. Once the fall rains start, the new grass shoots will provide good quality food – young grass shoots are more nutritious and easier for animals to digest than old, rank grass.
Refuge Access Update During Pandemic updated 6/13/20:
CARTY UNIT: (from both Main Ave and the Port entrance)All Carty Unit trails are now OPEN- BUT public use facilities and access to those facilities (including the Cathlapotle Plankhouse, restrooms, and the Refuge Office) are NOT available to the public. The end of the Oaks to Wetland will be posted as a one-way loop. Please follow all posted signs. The Oaks to Wetland trail will be closed every Thursday where the hard surface ends at the old oak. This Thursday closure (just like last year), will allow for continued maintenance within the oak release area and potentially future trail improvements. Thanks to the maintenance staff for getting the trail prepared for the season.
AUTO TOUR ROUTE:The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge Auto Tour Route on the River ‘S’ Unit re-opened May 5th, 2023 to vehicle traffic ONLY. There will be no public access to bathrooms, informational kiosks, parking lots, trails and the viewing blind due to the inability to uphold necessary social distancing guidelines during the pandemic.
Note that gates close automatically. Vehicles must exit before gate closes and there is no entry before or after hours. Please expect increased traffic and long waiting times to navigate around the tour and plan accordingly.
By following these temporary adjustments to access you ensure the safety and health of yourself, other visitors, the Ridgefield community and our staff. We look forward to continuing to serve you by providing safe and healthy wildlife dependent recreation into the future.
Updates will be posted here as they become available.
