Welcome to Quogue Wildlife Refuge

The Quogue Wildlife Refuge is a 305 acre non-profit nature preserve that was founded in 1934 and is home to diverse wildlife. Free of charge and open 365 days a year from sunrise to sunset, you can enjoy walking seven miles of trails to explore diverse habitats including forests and ponds, as well as the ecologically rare Dwarf Pines in the Pine Barrens.

The Outdoor Wildlife Complex houses permanently injured wildlife that require human care to survive including owls, falcons, hawks, and other native New York animals.

Dogs, Bicycles, and Picnicking are not permitted at the preserve. Come by and visit!

Trails, Outdoor Restrooms and Outdoor Wildlife Complex are open from sunrise to sunset. The Nature Center is currently closed as we prepare for upcoming renovations and expansion. Learn more here. Call the office 631-653-4771 with any questions.

Our Storybook Walk has been featuring a special conservation-themed experience all month long in honor of Earth Month—and Earth Day is the perfect time to enjoy it before it changes back to a children’s story book on April 23.

Take a peaceful walk on the trail (open sunrise to sunset) and discover signs of spring along the way. On the self-guided Conservation Walk, you will find 18 conservation signs highlighting actions you can take to make a positive impact on the Earth. Great information and actions on various topics including dark skies, fast fashion, lawn chemicals, and more. 
Bring a friend, immerse yourself in nature, and learn some new ways to honor and celebrate the planet we all share.

Restitching Ecological Communities – Virtual 
April 22  6:30 pm – 7:30 pm🌲 
Over the past few centuries natural landscapes have experienced significant fragmentation due to development and other human activities. Features such as roads, highways, culverts and dams have impeded the movement of wildlife leading to their decline and loss. This zoom presentation, on Earth Day, will explore the problem, and describe a number of strategies that conservationists are employing throughout the world to help wildlife cope in an increasingly human world. This is a free program. Registration Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/mpMhpa7qTxO-HAE-01EWYw

Have you visited the Refuge trails and spotted a small yellow bird hopping through the pine trees?🌲

Pine Warblers are usually high up in the pines, feeding on seeds and insects. Last week we got a special treat when one came right down near the trail!

Keep your eyes and ears open on your next visit - Pine Warblers have a steady, musical trill and are one of the few warblers that regularly eat pine seeds, so even if you don't see one, you can hear them singing here at the Refuge!
