Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge
Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in Arvada, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. It is the smallest urban refuge in the National Wildlife Refuge System. The Refuge consists of nearly 63 acres, with 53 acres of upland habitat and 9 acres of wetlands. Refuge habitat supports 85 different species of birds, of which 10 species nest there. Black-crowned night herons loaf in trees, and muskrats, raccoons and other small mammals and reptiles reside at the Refuge. Due to its proximity to Denver, one of the Refuge's primary goals is to provide environmental education programs for urban school children. Each year, hundreds of school children learn about wildlife and disappearing wetlands. Popular activities at the Refuge include environmental education, fishing, wildlife observation, and hiking. Two Ponds NWR is a satellite of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR.
