Friends of the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge

Once part of Glacial Lake Wisconsin, Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is now made up of an ancient, exposed lakebed where shallow surface water streams life into the Great Wisconsin Swamp, historic oak savannas and sand prairies. Seen for its importance for migratory birds by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939, it was set aside for breeding and resident wildlife and for generations of people to enjoy.
