Blue Goose Passports
President Theodore Roosevelt established the first National Wildlife Refuge in 1903. The refuge system covers nearly 93 million acres over the United States and includes a diversity of ecological habitats.
The mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System is to conserve fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats.–NWR
The Blue Goose Passport is a fun way to record your visits to the National Wildlife Refuges. The inexpensive book includes listings for the different refuges, a little about them, and when they were established. Most listings have space for their own distinctive stamp, which you can get for free, usually at a refuge’s visitor’s center.
The logo was created by J. N. “Ding” Darling in the 1920s.

The Blue Goose Passport is a cool incentive to try and visit them all. The National Wildlife Refuges comprise a large number of great birding areas. It is exciting to get a new stamp and makes an additional way to record your trip.
