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.

Eyes on the Pond: Become a Southampton Pond Keeper - Virtual 💧Monday, May 4 at 5:30 pm 
Southampton’s 200+ public freshwater bodies serve as critical headwaters for our marine bays, yet they lack formal monitoring at the Federal, State, or Local levels. To address this gap, the Citizen Science Learning Center (CSLC) is launching the Pond Keeper program—a citizen-led monitoring network designed to track Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). In this virtual presentation on Zoom, learn about the goals of CSLC and the roles you can play as a volunteer to protect public health and provide elected officials with the evidence needed for future water resource management. This is a free program. SIGN UP ON OUR WEBSITE: QuogueWildlifeRefuge.org

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌱 
What a great day it was celebrating the beauty of our local environment with our fellow organizations who work so hard to promote conservation on Long Island! 

A huge thank you to all of organizations who attended today, along with Hampton Coffee Company @hamptoncoffee , Land and Sea Smokehouse @landandseasmokehouse , Ben and Jerry’s of Riverhead @benandjerrysriverheadny serving up delicious treats.
 
And to the all weather visitors who enjoyed kayaking, face painting, meeting live animals and guided bird walks, & recycling, we had so much fun and can’t wait to see you back at the Refuge soon. You remind us that Earth Day really is Everyday!
