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.

What a night! ✨

Thank you to everyone who made our 18th Annual Wild Night for Wildlife an unforgettable evening! From our generous sponsors, donors, vendors, committee members, volunteers, and guests—your incredible support made this event a tremendous success.

Together, we celebrated the beauty of Dark Skies, honored the Winklevoss Family for their transformational support of our Preserve, Educate, Inspire campaign, and raised critical funds to support environmental education, resident wildlife care, and the stewardship of our 305-acre preserve.
We are so grateful for this amazing community and can’t wait to share more photos from the evening. 💚🌙🦉

Supporting pollinators starts with planting native plants!🌱 
Look at all of these amazing pollinators on the Refuge’s Common Milkweed 🐝 🦋 Monarch caterpillars, honey bees, bumble bees, milkweed beetles and even a Great Golden Digger Wasp were visiting the blooming milkweed. Consider adding more native plants to your garden this summer to support pollinators and all native wildlife
