TAKEA DVD TOUROF AMERICA’S NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering three low-cost video tours of select national wildlife refuges on DVDs, great gifts for any occasion.

In Volume 1, you’ll thrill to the takeoff of endangered whooping cranes at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, marvel at the profusion of ducks and other waterbirds at Wisconsin’s Horicon Refuge, track the stealthy and secretive red wolf in the swampy tracks of Pocosin Lakes Refuge in North Carolina. The DVD is a video tour of eight national wildlife refuges.

Volume 2 takes you to New Mexico’s annual fall crane extravaganza at Bosque del Apache Refuge and Noxubee Refuge in Mississippi, where you’ll be serenaded by the sounds of languid southern bayous. The video covers six refuge tours, hosted by none other than Teddy Roosevelt himself!

In Volume 3, travel from Vermont’s watery Missisquoi Refuge to the parched deserts of Cabeza Prieta Refuge along the Arizona-Mexico border. You’ll explore the diversity of wildlife habitats that have been protected by the National Wildlife Refuge System, making the United States the envy of the world for. Six refuges are featured, from Alaska to Massachusetts.
