Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge

Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is the result of cooperative conservation efforts of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and The Nature Conservancy. Its diversity of habitat types – ranging from mixed hardwood/pine ridges to bottomland hardwoods and swamp forests mixed with creeks, beaver swamps and oxbow lakes – contribute to an integrated system of scenic, historic and recreational resources along the Ocmulgee River. The refuge fills a vital role as a place for the conservation and management of the fish, wildlife, and plants of the Ocmulgee River ecosystem.
