Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge's 2,824 acres consist of
saltwater marsh, grassland, mixed deciduous woods and cropland. Because of this
great variety in habitat, many different species of birds are attracted to the
refuge throughout the year.
Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge is one of seven refuges administered by the
Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex. This chain of national wildlife refuges
extends from Pinckney Island NWR near Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, to
Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge near Darien, Georgia. Between these lie
Savannah (the largest unit in the complex), Wassaw, Tybee, Harris Neck, and
Blackbeard Island refuges. Together they span a 100-mile coastline and total
nearly 57,000 acres. |
