Glenn L. Martin National Wildlife Refuge Shields Migratory Birds Across 2,500 Acres
The Glenn L. Martin National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1954, was originally a private hunting preserve before being repurposed for wildlife conservation. Spanning over 2,500 acres, the refuge encompasses tidal marshes and wooded ridges that serve as critical habitat for migratory birds. The area provides seasonal shelter for waterfowl and nesting grounds for numerous bird species throughout the year. Beyond birds, the refuge also supports mammals, reptiles, and marine life, helping preserve the broader bay ecosystem. The site has grown considerably in size since its founding, strengthening its role as a key sanctuary for regional biodiversity.
