Established for the purpose of providing safe grounds for the breeding of migratory birds, Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge came into being in the year 1937. Today, it covers an area of 35,000 acres. Over the years, the vegetation has grown and become more diverse, which is the primary reason for the growing population of the birds! Freshwater marsh, moist soil fields, trees, shrubs and a number of rice wheat and soybean plantations make this a haven for birds. Some of the species that you will get to observe here include ibis, egrets, and spoonbills. A number of species of ducks and geese have made this wilderness their home, as have a number of other animals including alligators, raccoons and otters. Don’t forget to carry your camera on your visit here!
