Kern National Wildlife Refuge water control structure rehabilitation

Description:

Kern National Wildlife Refuge rehabilitation of a water control structure. This project was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Kern National Wildlife Refuge is the centerpiece of the Kern National Wildlife Refuge Complex. It is located 19 miles west of the city of Delano at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley of California. Kern National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1960 and consists of 11,249-acres of natural desert uplands, a relict riparian corridor, and developed marsh. Kern Refuge provides optimum wintering habitat for migratory birds with an emphasis on waterfowl and water birds. Through restoration and maintenance of native habitat diversity, the refuge also provides suitable habitat for several endangered species as well as preserving a remnant example of the historic valley uplands in the San Joaquin Desert. A year round 6.5-mile auto route leads through the some of the wetlands (Justine Belson/USFWS)
