Sunday marks the centennial of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Established by Theodore Roosevelt, the system now includes over 530 refuges across all states. Notable sites include Okefenokee in Georgia and Florida, Kodiak and Afognak in Alaska, and a Wyoming refuge protecting elk habitats.
Some 820 bird species call the Chincoteague Refuge off Virginia home. Established in 1943 to protect migratory birds. Fall draws many bird watchers, and the area is also known for its famous pony herd.
Paul Tritaik, refuge manager of Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida, guides the site as it marks its 100th anniversary this week. A boyhood interest in creek creatures and wildlife spurred his path after studying fish and wildlife management at the university.
