The refuge was established to provide a sustainable habitat corridor and sanctuary for wildlife. Please enjoy your visit and help protect wildlife and habitat by following these guidelines:

• Respect "Area Closed" signs. Public access is restricted and/or prohibited in sensitive habitat areas.
• Stay on established roads and trails.
• Watch for poison oak, black widow spiders and occasional rattlesnakes. Ticks are present from May through July.
• Avoid approaching, handling or feeding wildlife and moving too close to visible dens or nest sites.
• Leave seemingly abandoned wildlife alone. If concerned, report the animal's location to staff or a volunteer on duty.
