What: Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge Temporarily Closed During Trail Rehabilitation
When: June 5 to June 16
When: August 7 to August 18
The refuge trails have become worn over time leading to puddles and a surface that is not easily accessible for everyone. “Without this project, the trails will continue to deteriorate and detract from the visitors’ experience."
