  • Abstract:
    The Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is located on the southwestern boundary of the Portland metropolitan area, and it is one of several urban and suburban National Wildlife Refuges in the country. The 1,358 acre Refuge is situated within the floodplain of the Tualatin River, and its habitats include freshwater streams, seasonal and forested wetlands, riparian areas, grasslands, and forested uplands. The Tualatin River Refuge is home to nearly 200 species of birds, over 50 species of mammals, 25 species of reptiles and amphibians, and a wide variety of insects, fish and plants. In 2007, the Fish and Wildlife Service constructed a 6,300 square foot visitor center to house an interactive Wildlife Center and the Tualatin Refuge headquarters. The Wildlife Center contains classrooms, a student lab, a gift shop, and interpretive displays, and the exterior facilities include an observation deck, scenic trails, and parking. The buildings and parking facilities feature green design elements such as porous pavement, passive solar design, and locally sourced building materials. A bus stop was added to provide access via TriMet, Portland's public transportation provider.
