Cache River National Wildlife Refuge

Cache River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) located in Woodruff County was established in 1986 to protect significant wetland habitats and provide feeding and resting areas for migrating waterfowl.

According to US Fish and Wildlife services “the Cache River is one of the few remaining areas in the Lower Mississippi River Valley not drastically altered by channelization and drainage. The Cache River basin contains a variety of wetland communities including some of the most intact and least disturbed bottomland hardwood forests in the Mississippi Valley region. These unique and valuable wetlands have been protected by the RAMSAR Convention as “Wetlands of International Importance”.
