Welcome to Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge!
For those of you who are visiting us for the first time, we are so glad you are here! To both our new and returning visitors, we hope this Daycation will provide you with an exciting visiting opportunity to explore our Chicken Creek restoration project. Once completed, this project will re-route and create a naturally flowing Chicken Creek, and restore over 280 acres of wetland habitat for wildlife. So get started and have fun!
