Detroit
River International Wildlife Refuge
www.fws.gov/midwest/DetroitRiver
![GLIN Site of the Month]() The Detroit River
International Wildlife Refuge story is that conservation initiatives
are helping recreate gathering places for wildlife and people along
the Detroit River and western Lake Erie, and that these unique
conservation places enhance quality of life for enterprising
businesses and communities. Equally important is that conservation
is helping to provide an exceptional, outdoor, recreational
experience to nearly 6 million people in the watershed. That, in
turn, is helping to develop the next generation of conservationists.
